"The Covid-19 pandemic is eroding recent progress in building resilience, leaving countries and communities more vulnerable. This is why we need to step up efforts for climate adaptation and resilience in Africa," said H.E. Flemming Møller Mortensen, Minister for Development Cooperation, Denmark at the Leaders’ Dialogue on the Africa Covid-Climate Emergency held on 6 April 2021.
The Leaders’ Dialogue on the Africa Covid-Climate Emergency was convened by the African Development Bank and the Global Center on Adaptation on 6 April 2021, in close collaboration with the United Nations. The virtual event brought together African Heads of States and Governments, bilateral partners, heads of international organizations and development agencies. More than 30 world leaders rallied behind the Africa Adaptation Acceleration Program (AAAP), led by the African Development Bank and the Global Center on Adaptation. AAAP will upscale triple-win solutions that address Covid-19, climate change and the economy.
