Why COP27’s climate finance discussions must prioritize Africa (The Oxford Student) 

November 08, 2022


The Oxford Student published an article on the importance of COP27’s agreements around climate finance, especially pertaining to the African continent.

The article cites IFPRI’s publication by Ringler et. al (2010) which predicted that the agricultural effects of climate change would lead to “higher food prices and therefore lower affordability of food, reduced calorie availability, and growing childhood malnutrition in Sub-Saharan Africa.”
