3-tiers and other options

But we do require the cooperation of our partners and the USA, through technology transfer, and investments in infrastructure development, renewable energy and our blue and green economies so that we develop without destroying the planet.

As we do this work, we must at the same time correct the historical injustice of Africa being the only continent left out from permanent membership of the UN Security Council.

Even though Africa contributes the least to emissions, it is amongst the most affected by climate change.

As we seek to industrialise, 
increase manufacturing,
modernise agriculture and agro-processing,
develop the blue economy,
and grow our private sector,
we are mindful of our responsibilities to humanity and future generations.
