ACS23 proves Africa is becoming leader in climate action, says Damilola Ogunbiyi

Sustainable Energy For All , says the Africa Climate Summit has put the continent at the forefront of climate solution conversations.

The SEforALL CEO described the summit as a success, saying it pointed Africa in the direction of seeking solutions instead of being a victim of climate change.The summit was a great success. For the first time we had almost 19 heads of states in Africa coming together to explain the fact that they want to lead in climate action. I think this is one of the first times,” Ogunbiyi said.

The UN official noted that many African countries have limited climate budgets stretched thin by debt servicing, and called on richer nations to provide affordable and accessible financing to mitigate the problem.Ogunbiyi said it is important that richer countries lead the financing because they are the highest polluters and should pay for their actions.

“We do not want to develop like the global north, we do not want to develop on fossil fuels, we want jobs for our young people but we need the whole global architecture to support us in doing this.
