Climate Change and Disaster Resilience Committee
Preparing for a Sustainable and Resilient Africa
The Climate Change and Disaster Resilience Committee of Make in Africa draws on scientific, policy and business expertise from across the continent. Africa contributes little to global emissions yet bears heavy costs from drought, floods and heat. Rich economies built their industry on carbon-intensive growth and now hold the finance and technology for adaptation. The committee equips businesses to manage risk and plan recovery, and calls on partners to provide climate finance on fair terms.
