Stakeholders at Green Growth Africa have urged developed countries to renew their $100billion pledges for the Climate Fund agreed in COP21. Speaking at a virtual conference at the weekend in Abuja, the Executive Director Green Growth Africa, Dr Adedoyin Adeleke said the funds should be mobilised for multidimensional and multi-sectoral strategic interventions for green growth. According to him, the African youth needs to acquire green skills and be supported to set up middle and larges scale green enterprises that advance social and economic advantage. While proferring solutions to the compounded climate crises, he said, he said Africa would need climate solutions that also address pressing socio-economic needs. “Africa needs innovative climate solutions can enable the continent to be more resilient to climate disasters while maximising the economic benefits of the global green transition – Green Growth,” he noted.
