NAIROBI, Kenya, Sep 30 — National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has called for the establishment of a sustainable African financing mechanism for climate action, warning that the continent must back its climate commitments with domestic resources and stronger laws.
Wetang’ula said Africa’s response to climate change should move beyond international commitments and focus on creating the financial and legal capacity needed to implement climate policies.
He made the remarks during a meeting with members of the Pan-African Parliament (PAP) at Parliament Buildings, where discussions focused on developing practical and sustainable responses to the effects of climate change across the continent.
