Four issues frustrating Africans at global climate meet

Over 100 Ministers from across the world are currently participating in the Conference of the Parties (COP) meeting here to provide political guidance with the mission of successfully delivering on the 2018 conference objective of finalising the implementation guidelines of the Paris Agreement.  Officially known as the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the meeting is the world’s largest on climate change, bringing leaders of nearly all countries under one roof.

To date, a few agenda items have been concluded, but the ones African civil society considers essential, are still outstanding.
