Climate change-related scarcity, poverty, and weak rule of law could exacerbate socio-economic and political instability in Africa. Climate investments can help meet some of the continent’s socioeconomic needs. Still, a just transition is needed to ensure that redistribution of wealth and social well-being is at the forefront of development. This policy brief recommends a common African position on using climate investments to build resilience and encourages multi-faceted and multi-actor engagement.
