ADF today VII: acting on climate change for sustainable development in Africa

Abstract

The Seventh African Development Forum (ADF-VII), has urged Africa to come up with a common position on climate change, and articulate it with one strong voice .having one position, and sticking to it, will help Africa in its negotiations on climate change. The continent is negotiating possible compensation from developed countries for damages and losses it is suffering from global warming. Climate change is principally a result of heavy greenhouse gas emissions in developed countries. Africa is the least contributor to climate pollution, at just 3.8 percent, and yet suffered the most from its effects..
