A Position Statement on Climate Change and Health for COP28

We, The Youth Cafe, recognise the urgency of addressing climate change, with Africa facing heightened vulnerability to its devastating impacts. The latest findings from the IPCC’s  Special Report on Global Warming reveal that our planet is now 1.1  degrees Celsius warmer than pre-industrial levels, with projections indicating a potential 1.5-degree threshold as early as 2040. Disturbingly, each successive decade since 1850 has been more generous than the last. The escalating temperature trend driven by human-induced greenhouse emissions threatens health, food security, and economic stability. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 250,000 deaths per year may be directly linked to climate change-related issues such as heat stress, malnutrition, vector-borne diseases and water-borne diseases.

The AU Must Learn From Zambia

The AU Must Learn From Zambia

If the Zambia debacle doesn’t force a change in African borrowing practices, the AU can dump Agenda 2063 and all its dreams of development and economic integration out the window. The people of Zambia are going to suffer deeply because of the Lungu government’s decisions. If African leaders do nothing to prevent similar tragedies, they are the enemy of the African people and they have to go.
