Ghana's Akufo-Addo Calls for Climate Justice

Malawi's economy, heavily reliant on agriculture, faces dire threats from climate change, including erratic weather patterns that hurt smallholder farmers. Green Impact Technologies, co-founded by Joyce Sikwese and Admore Chiumia, aims to empower these farmers through sustainable solutions like solar energy and organic fertilizers, promoting economic development and improved health. Meanwhile, President Akufo-Addo of Ghana has called for urgent global action on climate change, asserting that Africa, contributing minimally to global emissions but suffering disproportionately from its effects, deserves fairness and climate justice. He emphasized the need for a collective response to the climate crisis that recognizes the plight of the vulnerable, who are often neglected despite existing promises. As Malawi grapples with the aftermath of severe weather events, such as Cyclone Freddy and a subsequent drought, the toll on health and food security continues to escalate, particularly affecting those with pre-existing health conditions. This ongoing crisis highlights the urgent need for comprehensive action to address both climate change and the disparities faced by impoverished communities.
