UK To Donate £49m For Climate Adaptation Projects In Africa
The United Kingdom has on Monday announced new adaptation projects worth £49 million for Africa.
The UK minister for development, Andrew Mitchell made the announcement at the maiden African Climate Summit in Nairobi, Kenya.
Mitchell said the partnerships between Africa and the UK on green investment and climate resilience are “growing economies and improving lives”.
“But more action has to be taken, as those least responsible for climate change are increasingly bearing the brunt of its effects,” he said.
“The UK is working closely with African partners to fight climate change, boost resilience and help those whose lives are most impacted.”
Through the intervention, the UK intends to assist more than 400,000 farmers in building resilience against the effects of climate change.
