Africa hit hardest by Global Warming despite its low Greenhouse Gas Emissions

There is now overwhelming scientific evidence that the earth is warming and
its consequence is significant for countries with limited human, institutional
and financial capacity to adapt to and cope with change. Africa hit hardest by
global warming despite contributing very little to global climate change. Given
the limited human and capital resources, many countries in Africa have been
making efforts to cope with climate change; however, integrated and
sustainable measures should be taken by developed nations and international
organisations to help Africa mitigate the effects of global warming. Though the
Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is to help developing
countries to achieve sustainable development by allowing developed countries
invest in climate mitigation projects in developing countries, Africa is currently
getting a meagre share as countries like China, India and Brazil gain strong
competitive advantage.
