‘Donor reliance hampers climate change projects’

Parliamentary budget committee chairman Andrew Chenge on Wednesday advised the government to adopt a new budgetary system that will refrain from depending on support from donors.

The issue before the world, at this point in time, is not about why climate change is a threat and who is to blame for it. The most important matter before us now is about how to adapt and how to mitigate climate change effects.

Some $10 billion has been pledged at the just-ended Climate Change talks in Lima, Peru organised by the UN for the Green Climate Fund (GCF) to mitigate the impact of global warming.

We are also proposing an Africa Wide Programme on Mitigation. Africa is not a big emitter of greenhouse gases, but we see a lot of merit and benefit in the continent charting out an environment friendly development path. Indeed Africa’s contribution to climate change from fossil energy and transport sources in the global context is but only worth a footnote.
