The United Nations special envoy for climate change said it was predicted 200 million people could be climate displaced people by the end of the century. “And, if we are not careful, by 2050,” she said. “We are talking about the fact that an awful lot of people live on the coast in parts of cities will be under water if sea levels rise by even a fairly moderate amount. And the prediction with the 4-degree world will be three times that.” The former president said although the global goal was stay below 2 degrees, scientists had told her the earth was on course for 4 degrees over this time frame. Ms Robinson said families in the Pacific Islands were faced with a “real threat to their existence” because of climate change. “I see communities faced every day with the erosions of their gardens, of their walls,” she said.

In investigating Africa’s stake in this global compact, the continents priorities within the context of available developmental and negotiating mechanisms should be considered given the vulnerability of this region to climate change impacts as attested by the latest scientific reports especially the 2nd Africa Adaptation Gap report.
