Climate The EU grants a subsidy to the Adaptation Initiative for Africa

The Africa Adaptation Initiative (IAA) has just received a € 1 million grant from the European Union. These funds should facilitate the implementation of projects that will enable Africans to cope with the consequences of climate change. « Through African-led initiatives such as the IAA, we have the potential to accelerate the ambition of Nationally Determined Contributions to the Paris Agreement across the continent. This will enable nations to adapt economies and societies to the new risks posed by climate change and will help us end poverty and hunger and create climate resilient pathways for economic development as we enter a decade of action to reach the SDGs (sustainable development objective), ”explains Seyni Nafo, the IAA coordinator.
