Zimbabwe to host crucial Africa climate conference . . . as climate change proves nightmare come true

Climate change is a nightmare come true for Africa, reads a opinion piece on The Herald. It has devastated agriculture, the continent’s economic mainstay, raptured through human settlements, resulted in increased water scarcity, hunger, poverty and malnutrition. The list is long.

According to the article, with Paris on the horizon, African climate experts will meet for a crucial climate conference in the Victoria Falls at the end of this month to map out measures to protect and enhance Africa’s development against extreme assaults from the so-called acts of nature. This will be the fifth meeting of the Climate Change and Development Africa (CCDA), an African Union initiative seeking to mainstream climate information into national policies for a resilient Africa across major economic sectors.
