Q: Africa has the lowest carbon footprint of any other continent in the world and yet it bears the brunt of climate change, with floods plaguing some regions and droughts in others. Why is this?
Dr. Chidiebere E.X. Ikejemba is the Director of Climate & Environment at Camber Collective. His body of work focuses on climate equity and justice, building resilient climate-smart development programs, strengthening political will for urgent climate change action and many other levers of activation. His theory of impact operates across both the upstream and downstream of a systems chain. that encompasses, just transition, agriculture & food security, migration, economic & rural development, climate education, waste management (circularity), healthcare, corruption and democracy, energy access, gender inclusion, carbon neutrality and other dimensions. The circularity of Camber’s approach and theory of influence is, we believe, the most congruous path to balancing economic reality and humanitarianism.
Q: Similarly, around 40% of Africa’s land is arable, yet global food production affects food inflation in Africa, why is this?
