[OPINION BY ABIDEEN OLASUPO] COP27: Beyond the euphoria, negotiate for better Africa | TheCable

The 27th United Nations Climate Change Conference of Parties, #COP27, is ongoing in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, with an estimated 5,000 attendees, including world leaders, activists, and youth representatives. For the 27th year, world leaders will share more plans towards mitigating climate change disasters and a road map to keeping the earth below 2 degrees.

A recent publication by the World Meteorological Organisation explained that East Africa has suffered a below average “rainfall in four consecutive wet seasons, the longest in 40 years, with indications that the current season could also be dry. As a result of the persistent drought and other compounding factors, an estimated 18.4 to 19.3 million people faced food crisis or worse levels of acute food insecurity before June 2022.
