The impacts of climate change continue to compromise the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of Africans. This is especially true of those that are dependent on sectors directly impacted by rapidly changing environments, such as agriculture. The impact could lower gross domestic product (GDP) by up to 3 per cent by 2050. And while there is a growing recognition of the need to mitigate and adapt to climate change, Africa is not securing the scale of financing required.
