NAIROBI, April 26 (Xinhua) -- There is a need for African governments and multilateral lenders to come up with a new mechanism to facilitate compensation of local communities affected by climate disasters, campaigners said Tuesday.
Mithika Mwenda, the executive director of Nairobi-based Pan African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA), stressed that as the climate crisis takes a toll on the continent's rural and urban poor, there is a need for monetary compensation to enable them to rebuild their livelihoods.
