| dc.description | On Tuesday, The inaugural African Regional Roundtable on Climate Initiatives began in Adis Ababa, Ethiopia, and discussions are focused on developing a new, sustainable economic framework.
Among the participants at the meeting are African finance and trade ministers and Vera Songwe, the UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA).
She said,” Africa COP is not just a COP where we go and meet and talk, but that it has to be a club that delivers. We’re looking at this COP being really the clarion call, the wake-up post-COVID recovery. We’re all going to be in a different economic setting, and unfortunately, that is not where we are”.
The ministers spoke on the African Trade Exchange Platform and emphasized the need for fertilizers in Africa, particularly in light of the significant impact COVID, the crisis in Ukraine, and rising food prices have had on the region.
Ministers discussed the African Trade Exchange Platform, highlighting the need for fertilizers across Africa, significantly since the continent has been heavily impacted by COVID, the Ukraine conflict & rising food prices. | en |
