Africa is the most-exposed region to the adverse effects of climate change despite contributing the least to global warming. The region is already disproportionately feeling the impacts related to a changing climate. Devastating cyclones affected 3 million people in Mozambique, Malawi, and Zimbabwe in the spring of 2018. But even with all these adversities, the fossil fuels business, particularly coal, continues to grow at an impressive rate throughout Africa. New coal-fired plants are being projected from South Africa to Senegal, from Kenya to Mozambique, via the DRC and Ivory Coast.
How can Africa mitigate the impact of climate change? Why are we the hardest hit, yet we contribute less to the degradation of the climate?
