The second African climate talks conclude with calls for homegrown solutions
Africa should focus more on building internal solutions to its problems rather than depend on international partners to solve its challenges. This was the dominant message at the end of the two-day meeting on the Talanoa Dialogue: African Climate Talks II (ACT!-II) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Participants at the talks on the theme; “Market policy versus market mechanisms in the implementation of the Paris Agreement”, called for African initiatives to address the continent’s climate problems. They advocated for holistic African approaches to help the region in its climate change mitigation, adaptation and in addressing its exposure and vulnerability to constantly increasing climate impacts. The more than 170 participants in attendance recommended that engineers, climate resilience experts and disaster risk managers should work together to save the continent from losing money on infrastructure such as roads, bridges that are being washed away by floods yearly.
