The UN chief said the world was losing the race with climate change and that "it could be a disaster for Africa" and beyond.
Antonio Guterres called for more political will for funding and adaptation during his speech Saturday before the summit of the continental body of the African Union.
He said Africa would pay a "higher price" on climate change because of its dramatic impacts, while the continent "does not contribute much" to global warming. Increases in temperature will be more important in Africa.
The UN chief also told reporters that after recent advances for peace in Southern Sudan and between Ethiopia and Eritrea, "I believe that Africa is becoming an example where conflict can be resolved and prevented. "
He hopes this spirit can be extended to the rest of the world.
