Meanwhile, African nations are particularly aggrieved. Despite being among the hardest hit by climate change (caused mainly by the highly developed Global North), the continent receives just 3% of global climate finance. The inequity is glaring. Mozambique, Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo for instance, have endured multiple cyclones and exceptional weather catastrophes in recent years, displacing thousands and wreaking economic havoc. Yet, funds to help these nations adapt and recover are scarce, leaving them trapped in a vicious circle of destruction and poverty.
