The clerics must ensure that the voices of faithful are heard at the upcoming COP29 climate talks
Lobbyists say the financial strain of climate change is felt most acutely by the poorest communities in Africa.
COP29 is determined to fulfill past promises, delivering on mandates, and building on the process so that it can address the urgency and scale of the crisis.
Environment and climate change Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has said climate finance for adoption, loss, and damage should meet regional needs ahead of Cop29.
This dissonance between people’s painful reality and the stubbornness displayed by leaders of rich countries warns of massive disappointments at COP29.
Countries of the developed world need to do their part by doing more to provide Africa with greater access to funding, and technology transfer to enhance its climate change efforts.
