SHARM EL-SHEIKH – Senegalese President and President of the African Union Macky Sall called for promoting all climate change commitments, saying the $100-billion pledge is no longer enough and should be raised to $200 billion.
Delivering a speech during the high level segment proceedings at the UN Climate Summit Conference (COP27), Sall said COP27 is an opportunity for making a historical transformation, noting the African countries support just green transformation despite their low contribution to CO2 emissions.
Sall thanked President Abdel Fattah El Sisi for his warm reception, adding Africa is keen on interacting with all partners to make this conference a decisive turning point in stopping ramifications of climate change.
Africa was committed to the Paris Agreement regarding the Great Green Wall, which is currently being implemented in 11 countries in the Sahel and Sahara regions, he added.
