US pledges $30 million for climate-resilient food production at Africa Climate Summit

On the second day of the Africa Climate Summit in Nairobi, US climate envoy John Kerry announced that the US will provide "an additional 30 million dollars for climate-resilient food security efforts across Africa."

Landmark African climate talks set to wrap up Wednesday with leaders seeking a united voice to highlight the continent's green growth potential provided the world steps up help for funding and debt. The Nairobi summit hopes to boost investment in renewables, with the UAE on Tuesday pledging 4.5 billion USD to accelerate Africa's clean energy transition.
