US EditionAfrican Leaders Push for Climate Investment at Ethiopia Summit
African nations seek increased climate financing and aim to lead renewable energy growth despite receiving only 1% of global climate funds, promoting innovation and investment in clean technologies.
- On Monday, African leaders gathered in Ethiopia to advance climate financing and develop adaptation strategies during the continent's latest climate summit.
- The summit follows broken international commitments and the US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement earlier this year, which weakened global climate efforts.

- Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed declared, "We are not here to negotiate our survival," urging a shift from climate aid to climate investment.
- The summit aims to finalize a declaration outlining Africa's climate priorities and solutions this week to present at COP30 and position the continent as a green investment model.
