Africa Makes Itself Heard on Climate #COP23

African participants are working hard to ensure their voices are being heard, amid fears that the so-called "Trump effect" could make matters worse for developing states. Africa is the continent which will likely be affected the most by climate change, with almost two-thirds of its population making its living off the land.

COP23

The 2017 UN Climate Change Conference aims to launch nations towards the next level of ambition needed to tackle global warming and put the world on a safer and more prosperous development path. COP23, coming just two years after the landmark adoption of the Paris Climate Change Agreement, will also further fuel momentum among cities, states, regions, territories, business and civil society in support of national climate action plans, the internationally-agreed temperature goal and the wider objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
