Second annual conference on Climate Change and Development in Africa : Statement by Carlos Lopes UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA

Statement made by Carlos Lopes UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA at the Second annual conference on Climate Change and Development in Africa. Africa faces the challenge of adapting to climate change from the lower end of the development spectrum. Climate change will impact on African agriculture either where it is primarily rain-fed or in its arid and semi-arid areas. This is the reason why our theme for this meeting ‘Advancing Knowledge, Policy and Practice in Climate Change ad Development’ is particularly appropriate.
