Leveling the Financial Playing Field for Africa

There is no path to a green, just, and prosperous shared future that does not have Africa at its core. That is why it is in the world's interest to support the continent, not through charity, but by backing African-led solutions, particularly by removing financial inequities that impede much-needed investment.

NEW YORK – Africa bears virtually no responsibility for the greenhouse-gas emissions driving the climate crisis. It is not responsible for the conflicts or supply-chain disruptions that have driven global inflation. Nor did it trigger the spread of COVID-19, let alone cause the pandemic’s economic fallout. And yet the long-term effects of this trio of crises are being felt perhaps more acutely in Africa than anywhere else.
