On Climate Change, Capital Must Follow Africa’s Lead
NEW YORK – The postwar global development system has been dramatically altered – a source of conversation and consternation at last week’s United Nations General Assembly and convenings on climate change. Multilateral development banks are stretched thin, while major donors like the United States and the European Union are slashing their foreign-aid budgets. The resource shortfalls are particularly pronounced when it comes to support for sustainable development and the green transition in emerging markets; African countries alone face a $2.8 trillion financing gap to support their – and our – collective climate goals.
