‘Africa loses $15bn annually to climate change’ (Daily Guide Network)  

November 01, 2022


Concerns about climate change and its effects on Africa were foremost in a statement by the Ghanaian Majority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh on the floor of Parliament, writes the Daily Guide Network (Ghana). Making a statement on COP 27 and the future of sustainability on the floor of Parliament on Thursday, Mr. Annoh-Dompreh, who is also the MP for Nsawam-Adoagyiri, said by 2030, Africa will need about $1.3 to $1.6 trillion. He disclosed that according to IFPRI research, by 2050 climate change would lead to higher temperatures and mixed rainfall, leading to changes in crop yields and growth of the agricultural sector, higher food prices, less availability of food, and increased child malnutrition.
