'It is inconceivable that Africa receives less than 3% of the global climate change financing while being the most affected continent.”
"It is inconceivable that Africa receives less than 3% of the global climate change financing while being the most affected continent.”South Africa will use its opportunity as incoming president of the G20 group to ensure SA and Africa get a better deal out of the Just Transition financing for the renewable energy future, says Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Ronald Lamola.
“After the World Cup and the collective fight we mounted as a nation against Covid, it will be our biggest national project. “We have to reverse the uneven distribution of resources. It is inconceivable that Africa receives less than 3% of the global climate change financing while being the most affected continent.”Lamola said: “We will advocate for more resources to be allocated to Africa for climate change.”
Thucydides Trap focuses on relations between the big powers, particularly between China and the US, and the assumption that the two were destined for war.“By insisting on genuine partnerships and aligning programmes, Africa can define its engagement with major global powers,” Lamola said, citing opportunities presented by the African Continental Free Trade Area.
