Did Africas COP deliver for Africa?
At the start of COP 27 Egyptian President Fattah al-Sisi told the world that it was vital that African countries receive "appropriate support and funding according to the principle of shared responsibilities and burdens\u201d.
For years the richest nations have been accused of failing to meet their $100 billion-a-year pledge for funding. It turn out this doesn\u2019t even scratch the surface - a recent report puts the estimated figure for all of Africa\u2019s climate needs closer to $2.8 trillion dollars.
The Climate Question looks at whether COP 27 made a difference to the money flowing and asks how African countries will get what they need to protect themselves from climate change. Presenters Graihagh Jackson and Neal Razzell are joined by:
