Abstract: Climate change continues to be a critical issue of concern across the globe. In Africa, the vulnerability and exposure to climate risk are very high although African countries do not contribute to emissions as compared with developing countries in other continents. We argued that to effectively achieve the low carbon and climate-resilient development, Africa must use appropriate diversified financial instruments, have a long-term plan, implement a systemic approach and provide support based on each country’s needs. We also explore some critical issues on climate finance, carbon pricing and other related issues within a lens of an Africa which is making strides towards a continent-wide free trade area.
