By HE Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn Boshe:
It is a great honor for me to welcome you all at this first session of day 3 of the African Climate Summit here in Addis Abeba. It is titled “Accelerating climate finance and debt relief: Unlocking Africa’s green and resilient future”.
This year’s summit builds on the momentum of the first Africa Climate Summit in Nairobi in 2023, where leaders adopted the Nairobi Declaration.
Central to the declaration was the demand to overhaul the global financial system and ease Africa’s crushing debt burden. These were not merely economic asks; they were lifelines for climate resilience.
