African leaders called for regional cooperation and more climate investments, as the second Africa Climate Summit opened this Monday in Addis Ababa. Heads of state urged the continent to play a bigger role in the transition to a cleaner global economy.
Speaking at the opening event, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said it’s time to reframe Africa’s role in climate action, instead of focusing on its financial and technological limitations.
“We gather not merely to discuss climate change, but to shape an African decade of delivery, a decade in which ambition becomes pipeline, and pipeline becomes investment backed by sound policy and strong partnerships,” he said.
