- Abstract
The authors call for urgent action to ensure it is the Conference of the Parties (COP) that finally delivers climate justice for Africa and vulnerable countries for the health of the countries and the world. Topics covered include how Africa has suffered from the climate crisis although it has done little to cause the crisis, the need for all nations to cooperate to address the crisis, and the climate crisis being a product of global inaction.
