LUSAKA, Sept. 2 (Xinhua) -- The negative effects brought by climate change may derail Africa's progress toward achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals unless urgent measures are taken, a senior Zambian government official said on Monday.
Minister of Green Economy and Environment Mike Mposha said that extreme weather events in Africa were intensifying and impacting the continent's socio-economic development, a situation that requires urgent attention to protect the continent from the devastating effects of climate change.
