Africa losing up to 15 pct of GDP growth to climate change – AfDB
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Africa is losing 5 per cent to 15 per cent of its per capita economic growth due the effects of climate change and is facing a gaping climate finance shortfall, according to the African Development Bank (AfDB).

Africa has been hit disproportionately hard by the fallout from climate change, which has aggravated droughts, flooding and cyclones across the continent in recent years.

African nations received around $18.3 billion in climate finance between 2016 and 2019, Kevin Urama, the AfDB’s acting chief economist, said in a statement released on Tuesday.

“These sums reflect how the crisis is,” Urama said. “Investing in climate adaptation in the context of sustainable development is the best way to cope with the climate change impacts.”

Rich nations promised in 2009 to deliver $100 billion in climate financing to the developing world.

African ministers meeting in Cairo last week ahead of November’s COP27 climate summit decried the lack of support which they said had resulted in the continent benefiting from less than 5.5% of global climate financing.
