World leaders discuss ways to help developing nations avoid climate disaster on day two of COP27

CAIRO, 09 November 2022, (TON): African and Caribbean leaders demanded more funding and technical support from wealthier nations in the battle against global warming in a range of speeches at the UN Climate Change Conference in Egypt, or COP27.

Speaking at COP27 in the Red Sea city of Sharm El-Sheikh, South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa said the entire African continent is now experiencing the effects of climate change.

Ramaphosa said Africa should build its adaptive capacity but also urged multilateral cooperation to achieve sustainability goals.

Ramaphosa said “multilateral support is out of reach for a majority of the world’s population due to lending policies and conditionality. We need a clear road map to deliver on the Glasgow decision to double adaptation financing by 2025.”
