    Africa should demand for climate justice regimes and action from the global community, Kenya’s Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources has said. Speaking while opening a workshop by civil society groups from around Africa coalescing under the Pan African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA); Ali Mohammed Dawood said the demand for justice is a priority for Africa as the continent emits the least greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. “As a continent, Africa remains highly vulnerable to climate change impacts because of its unique location and low adaptive capacity due to its development challenges,” he said. He noted that frequent and intensive occurrences of major calamities such as droughts and floods have led to the reversal of our economic gains made over the recent past. Mohammed said the impacts of climate change continue to be felt by communities around the world, whether rich or poor, in the North or south. However, he said, the severity of the impacts varies with the level of economic development and vulnerability.
