The Chairman of the United Bank for Africa (UBA) Group, Tony Elumelu, has suggested allocating part of climate funding to address healthcare issues worsened by climate change.
During a panel session at the Health Leaders’ Forum in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, on Monday, Mr Elumelu observed that climate change is leading to new diseases, insisting that climate funds need to “be accessed to address healthcare as well.”
“We hear so much about available climate financing for renewable energy projects, as well as climate change adaptation and resilience projects — but what about unlocking climate funding for healthcare delivery?” he queried.
