[wanabidii] Climate change and growth in Africa: challenges and the way forward

Wednesday, January 08, 2014

The recent trends of increasing global temperatures and incidences of extreme climate events in Africa—mainly droughts and floods—are likely to continue. These severe climate events demonstrate the level and depth of the impact that climate change has on African economies. African policymakers should prioritize climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies in the development agenda of 2014 and beyond in order to continue and sustain its current growth. Furthermore, despite the fact that Africa is the continent most affected by—and perhaps because it is also the smallest contributor to the man-made effects of—climate change, Africa's voice in international climate change nego¬tiations is very limited. To successfully minimize the effects of climate change, Africans must strategize in order to increase their voice in these negotiations.
