African Leaders Push for Strong Action on Climate Change
Voice of America
JOHANNESBURG - A pandemic has blanketed the planet. Economies have cratered. Across the world, people are scared, anxious and unsteady about the future.
And you want to talk about climate change? Yes, say African leaders. Now. African heads of state met virtually this week to make a push for the global community to do more to fight climate change in Africa, arguing that this environmental crisis could — and in fact, is — making the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic worse in the developing world. They are pushing a bold, multibillion dollar plan ahead of a vital climate conference planned for later this year.More Related News
