Create room for climate adaptation investments – African leaders advised
Leaders in Africa are being urged to create an enabling environment to facilitate the flow of climate adaptation investments.
With that in place, the continent can attract funding to support the implementation of its National Determined Contributions (NDCs), a national plan under the Paris Agreement.
The recommendations which were part of a report titled: “State and Trends in Adaptation in Africa 2022”, launched by the Global Center on Adaptation, is an international organization that works as a solutions broker to accelerate action and support for adaptation solutions today.
The report revealed that cumulative adaptation finance to 2030 would come to less than one-quarter of the estimated needs stated by African countries in their NDCs unless more funding for climate adaptation was secured.
