Africa should use COP27 to advance continent’s climate change goals: Experts

Climate scientists have stressed that Africa should use the COP 27 conference to advance the continent’s climate change goals.

A pre-COP 27 African media conference focusing on the issue started in Kigali, Rwanda on Wednesday.
 
...Mohamed Adow, Power Shift Africa director, said Africa, which is home to about 17% of the world’s population, accounts for around 4% of the global emissions annually.

"What it neglects is that on historical terms, the 17% of the global population that resides in Africa that is domiciled in this part of the world only accounts for 0.5% of the historical emissions."
