AFRICA AND THE GLOBAL CLIMATE DEAL
Climate change is not a crisis of Africa's making, yet it is African people, especially the poorest, who will suffer the first and the worst. Not only does it add yet another challenge to those struggling to combat extreme poverty and disease by exacerbating the conditions of poverty, but it threatens to erode the gains that have been made in recent years. ONE urges global policymakers to keep the poorest in mind as they negotiate a global climate deal at Copenhagen in December 2009. These negotiations will focus on reaching consensus on how to respond to climate change worldwide and resolving that key question is of critical importance to the African continent. As part of these talks however, it is also critical that policymakers take special consideration of Africa-both to address its disproportionate need to adapt to impending climate change but also to work with the continent as a mitigation partner going forward.
