The environment minister of Zambia, chair of the African Group at COP28, outlines the continent’s priority at the ongoing climate talks.

The more the adaptation gap grows, the more losses and damages will rack up for those who can least afford them. A recent study indicated that the 55 most climate-vulnerable economies alone have experienced losses and damages of more than $500 billion in the last two decades.
