Dr. Rajiv J. Shah

Africa Climate Summit 2023

focused on delivering climate-positive growth

and finance solutions for Africa and the world.

Over the past decade, storms, wildfires, floods in the African continent

have resulted enermous financial losses, in particular,

Africa faces severe climate-related challenges,

including drought, desertification, and increasing cyclones,

leading to displacement, migration, and food crises.

The continent is also disproportionately affected

by the global temperature rise and is projected to

experience escalating physical climate risks.

African families are the hardest hit by climate, even though African communities contributed almost nothing to the #climatecrisis. RF President @drrajivjshah emphasizes our priorities of creating jobs and creating a climate-smart school feeding program at #AfricaClimateSummit23 #ACS23"

"Africa is one of the lowest emitters of greenhouse gases. And yet today, Africa is suffering, disproportionately from the effects of climate change," explains William Asiko. "We have things that we can do to get us out of the situation. Kenya is already a country that is a leader in renewable energy. More than 90% of our energy comes from renewable sources." #AfricaClimateSummate23 #ACS23"

Today at the @africaclimatesummit Naveen Rao sat down with Hon. Khumbize Kandodo Chiponda (Ministry of Health Malawi), Dr. Bience Gawanas (@GlobalFund), & Dr. Adelheid Onyango (@WHO) to learn how country-led Climate Vulnerability Assessments can build investment cases for #ClimateFinancing and inform how health systems protect vulnerable communities in a warming world. #ACS23"
