Urgency of climate awareness & action in Africa
With nearly 20% of the world’s population today, Africa accounts for less than 3% of the world’s energy‐related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to date and has the lowest emissions per capita of any region.
Africa is suffering disproportionately from climate change, a topic raised in Climate Justice efforts.
Africa has an estimated 40% of the world’s renewable energy resources, and only 2% ($60 billion) of US$3 trillion renewable energy investments in the last decade have come to Africa.
43% of its total population (600 million people) still lack access to electricity, most of them in sub‐Saharan Africa.
The conservation, rehabilitation and climate-informed management of biodiversity and ecosystems increases will advance progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals.
Due to the information and awareness gap, Climate Education is considered one of the key solutions to accelarate Climate Action for mitigation and adaptation.
