Climate Change Costs Africa up to 5% of GDP, UN Climate Head Says

African nations are losing up to 5% of their GDP due to the impacts of climate change, according to Simon Stiell, UNFCCC's Executive Secretary. Despite contributing minimal emissions, Africa receives only 1% of global climate finance, which is far below the estimated $1.3 trillion needed for climate adaptation. Stiell called for greater investment and highlighted the continent’s potential to address climate issues. African ministers at a pre-COP29 meeting in Ivory Coast are seeking more funding, focusing on innovative solutions like debt refinancing and carbon markets to mitigate the continent’s climate challenges without increasing debt burdens.
