Africa lays out goals ahead of UN climate summit

MOMBASA, Kenya (AP) — African officials outlined their priorities for the upcoming U.N. climate summit, including a push to make heavily polluting rich nations compensate poor countries for the environmental damage done to them.

How much funding Africa gets is the biggest factor for how prepared it will be for a hotter future, said Harsen Nyambe, the director of sustainable environment at the African Union Commission.

“We recall the $100 billion that was promised has never been fulfilled and current assessments show that even that amount is not enough,” Nyambe said.

He added the continent only received about 7.5% of its promised $70 billion in climate funding between 2014 and 2018.

Africa needs around $3 trillion to fulfill its self-determined emissions targets, known as nationally determined contributions, that each country is required to submit as part of the 2015 Paris agreement on climate, according to U.N. and Africa Development Bank estimates.

As long as there are still a lot of non-green projects, China is undermining its own philosophy that says green is gold

the problem is the left don’t have to prove anything they claim- all they have to do is say ‘Well, it woudl have been ‘much worse’ if we hadn’t acted when we did’

If there is zero chance in atmospheric CO2 after enacting all the nonsense crap they intend to- they will just claim things owudla been worse if they hadn’t passed laws-

nothing we do will affect the climate one iota-

“How much funding Africa gets”

We here at Free Republic have always thought “climate change” was about money.

Sorry, Africa.

We have enough low IQ negroes here in the U.S.A. with their hands out.

Go ask China. It’s only fair, ‘cause they bribed all your politicians.

Actually money is one of the three heads on the Hydra. Power and Control are the other two.
