  • Resumen
    • A 2 degrees Celsius rise in global temperature could have a profound impact on Africa. GDP could reportedly dip 4.7%, mainly through agricultural losses. The continent would face other environmental degradations. Temperature rises are predicted to be more pronounced there than the global average and are already having an impact on things such as water availability and power generation. A lack of rain recently saw all hydropower plants in Tanzania switched off. Yet rich nations largely set the climate-change agenda. The developing world is crying foul feeling left out of the debate. Here, Abraham says Africa is on the climate-change frontline yet its voice is not fully heard.
