COP17 Summit in Durban

Caroline Kende-Robb, the APP Executive Director, went to Durban to launch the latest APP policy brief "Transforming Africa's development path - What Durban needs to deliver". The report emphasizes that COP17 must deliver on three critical areas:

• Deliverable 1: Set a clear path towards a legally binding international agreement to cap greenhouse gas emissions
• Deliverable 2: Launch Green Climate Fund with focus on adaptation and make promised financing a reality
• Deliverable 3: Financing for a climate-resilient African Green Revolution

and highlights the need for strong leadership.
