"For Africa, this is both a challenge and an opportunity. If Africa focuses on smart choices, it can win investments in the next few decades in climate resilient and low emission development pathways. Additionally, increased awareness and understanding of climate change politics and negotiation skills at the highest political and diplomatic levels can increase the continent’s competitiveness in trade and international financial flows to address climate change." "On Climate Financing and Technology needs, we need to underscore the fact that due to past emissions, the impact of climate change on the continent is overwhelming. Addressing it will require massive financial resources and technological support never envisaged before. For example, addressing adaptation alone needs financial resources in the range of USD 7-15 billion per year by 2020. This cost will further increase as temperature rises. " "Sub-Saharan Africa will face a decrease of 19 percent in maize yields, 68 percent in beans yields and a decrease in crop yields by 18 percent for Southern Africa and up to 22 percent across Sub-Saharan Africa. Africa may brace up for a total annual loss of USD 311 million to regional economy from agriculture. Disease burden is likely to increase especially for malaria and cholera. Climate-induced extreme flooding is likely to impact a good number of African countries by 2020. Ecosystems will be affected by climate-induced longer and more frequent droughts, resulting in deforestation, forest degradation, land-use change, pollution and water scarcity." "It is being projected that reductions in yield in some African countries could be as much as 50 percent by 2020, and crop net revenues could fall by as much as 90 percent by 2100. Therefore, we need to ensure that we engage in climate smart agriculture within the changing climate. " "Total Africa’s carbon dioxide emissions, predominantly from the energy and transport industries, amount to approximately 650 million tons per annum. Comparatively, Germany alone emits approximately 800 million tons of carbon dioxide annually. The annual per capita emissions of carbon dioxide in Sub-Saharan Africa is approximately one ton while the US has per capita emission of 16 tons. " "We should and must go to New York, Lima and Paris as one and united continent and people. We must go there with clear vision, mission and one voice."
