Climate change is Africa’s greatest threat but it’s also one if its biggest opportunities, says Simon Mizrahi, director of quality assurance and results, energy, environment, and climate change at the African Development Bank. “It gives added urgency to some of the measures we should be taking anywhere,” he says. While it is important to talk about the threat to Africa of climate change, it is equally important to focus on the opportunities both at the 2015 climate talks in Paris, known as COP21, and beyond.
