The report examined the commitments, goals and ambitions of 3 African countries, Nigeria, Uganda and South Africa, particularly at the 26th conference of parties on climate change which was held in Glasgow Scotland and how the countries have fared.

It among other things revealed a lot of policy inconsistencies on the continent raising the need for greater action that aligns with climate policies.

As recent extreme weather events have shown, Africa carries the biggest burden of climate change despite contributing only about 3% to global greenhouse gas emissions.

This, according to climate change activists call for concerted efforts towards addressing the challenge.

The report put together by Corporate Accountability and Public Participation Africa, CAPPA, Africa Institute of Energy governance, Uganda and South Africa Climate Action Network, SACAN, also provides a guide for an African group of negotiators to advance climate justice for the continent at the ongoing COP 27 in Egypt.
