Molewa emphasises climate funding at World Economic Forum
Collaboration between the public and private sectors will contribute to the development of a climate resilient economy in Africa, environmental affairs minister Enda Molewa told the World Economic Forum.
The Forum, which was recently held in Durban, brought together global climate leaders to discuss the priorities and opportunities for delivering the Paris Agreement.
Molewa said that by ratifying the Agreement at COP21, countries had not only committed to implementing strategies to reduce greenhouse gases, but agreed that investment should take place in climate resilient communities.
Molewa reiterated that all countries that signed the Agreement should not “backtrack on these issues of importance to humanity”.
