African
environmentalists are calling on the African Union (AU) to device an African
solution to climate change.
One
of those who made this call include a South African environmentalist, Nkwame
Cadile and, Makhosonke Mdlalose of the Environmental Justice of Newcastle
branch who spoke at the ongoing 17th edition of the Conference of Parties (COP
17) in Durban, South Africa.
For
Cadile, the African Union should collaborate with national governments by coming
up with an African solution to deal with climate change, reports xinhuanet.
Cadeile
also demanded African governments to broaden their vision and thinking on
climate change, urging for a shared African action plan on global warming.
The
activist suggested that SADC and AU should get an African plan of development
on climate change and not depend on developments that are determined by foreign
bodies.
Also,
Makhosonke Mdlalose of the Environmental Justice of Newcastle branch, called for
the establishment of a solution on how Africa could fund climate change.
He
further said that African governments should realize the fact that it takes
deals over deals before developed nations could release funds to African
countries. Read more
