The Guardian Nigeria
Writing in The Guardian Nigeria, BCG’s Tolu Oyekan asserts that African leaders should have a more prominent voice in global climate discussions. He notes that much of the current discourse around climate mitigation does not adequately address the unique needs of African countries, which contribute only 5% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions yet stand to suffer disproportionately from the effects of climate change. As the continent prepares for worsening climate disasters, from high temperatures to extreme droughts, Oyekan explains how African leaders can build climate adaptation and resilience in their nations—and how the rest of the world can support these efforts.
