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.
According to him, Africa will pay a higher price for climate change because of its dramatic consequences, 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 following recent advances for peace in Southern Sudan and between Ethiopia and Eritrea, "I think 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.
