NAIROBI, Nov. 1 (Xinhua) -- African experts will at the forthcoming COP27 meeting in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, push for prioritization of the continent's climate adaptation needs as losses and damages arising from the effects of climate change surge, they said on Tuesday.

The climate experts from the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) said in a statement released in Nairobi, Kenya's capital that developed countries emit most of the carbon dioxide that has fueled climate change and thus should fund mitigation measures in developing countries that are suffering the worst of effects because they are least prepared.
