VP Calls for Just Transition to Renewable Energy AfricaClimateCrisis dailynewstz: Tanzania
Addressing the 77th Session of the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, Dr Mpango said that Africa must be given time to adjust since majority of Africans have no access to energy.
He added: "We call upon the lifting of opposition to global financing and implementation of transformative projects in our countries that aim to harness our hydrocarbon deposits for energy and other equally important uses to address our critical developmental needs." Giving an example, he said Tanzania has preserved over 30 per cent of the total land area, almost equivalent to the size of Germany which includes forests and wildlife parks.
He said the most vulnerable countries including Tanzania, have been disproportionately affected and do not possess the capacity to effectively respond.
