Various African and the small islands civil society groups made an action this afternoon at the UN climate talks, in Paris to demand for a binding agreement that will see the temperatures reduce by 1.5 degrees celsius.
In April 2015, African ministers called for a strong Paris Agreement that will also highlight the climate finance strategy.
With more than 150 countries set to approve a new climate change agreement under the UN in Paris, the civil society stressed the region’s readiness and requirement for accelerated financing of low-carbon development.
Africa, with its vulnerable populations and vast potential, has perhaps the most to lose from climate change and the most to gain from an effective climate change agreement.
