Kofi Annan: Africa needs real support from COP-17

"The Green Climate Fund must not only finance mitigation in advanced emerging countries. Adapting to the unavoidable consequences of climate change is vital to Africa’s future," says Kofi Annan for Business Day as the world will be watching the deliberations in Durban. "It requires the scaling up of effective and proven development programs. We must therefore put adaptation and, in particular, African agriculture at the heart of the fund," he continues.
