On Climate Change, Africa finds its voice
As the Africa Climate Summit closed on Wednesday, the continent finally took its position on how the international community should engage with it. As the meeting ended, the assembled development banks, private investors, and philanthropists committed $23 billion to green projects, mitigation, and adaptation.
East Africa led the conference with President William Ruto of Kenya hosting, President Azali Assoumani of the Comoros chairing the African Union and Presidents Samia Suluhu Hassan of Tanzania, Paul Kagame of Rwanda, Salva Kiir of South Sudan and Evariste Ndayishimiye of Burundi leading strong national delegations.
