Africa's inaugural climate summit wraps with calls for a global carbon tax
The first-ever climate summit in Africa has concluded with appeals for the implementation of a worldwide carbon tax. Despite being the lowest emitter of carbon emissions, Africa bears the brunt of its adverse effects, prompting demands for wealthier nations to provide financial support. Kenya suggests that carbon markets present a viable funding avenue, although activists hold a different perspective on the matter.
