OPINION| SA must do more to combat corruption if it wants to get climate finance - Africa needs substantial investment for climate change adaptation and mitigation but the continent must have systems in place to ensure the money is not misused

) unfolds in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, realistic conversations about the implementation of South Africa’s nationally determined contribution, a climate action plan to cut emissions and adapt to climate impacts, is required.

Despite Africa’s insignificant contribution to climate change, the continent is heavily affected in some regions because of multiple factors that include underdevelopment, low adaptive capacity, heavy dependence on climate-sensitive sectors and limited access to finance and technology. This is important because African countries need substantial investment for climate change adaptation. Multilateral and international private-sector financing is crucial.
