To date, all global assessments have concurred that Africa is the Earth's most vulnerable region to climate change. The Third Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which was published in 2001, was the first to introduce a so-called regional lens to the IPCC assessments. This triggered discussions during the global negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change on how to contextualize the impacts and challenges posed by climate change. As a result, there was a unanimous agreement to provide support to those least developed countries considered to be highly vulnerable to climate change but lacking the capacity and resources to respond.
