Was COP27 a success for Africa?
There was weary applause at the close of COP27\u2013 as the environment conference was FINALLY wrapped up in Sharm el-Sheikh with a deal at 4.15am on Sunday morning.
The global agreement was meant to have been signed on Friday.
African delegates had lobbied heavily for a \u2018loss and damage\u2019 fund \u2013 to compensate countries suffering climate related disasters - and this did make the final text.
But efforts to set tougher targets for cutting fossil fuels failed.
So was this a victory for Africa \u2013 on paper at least?
For Africa Daily, Mpho Lakaje gets the thoughts of leading African environmentalist Wanjira Mathai.
