摘要
This study assesses the potential for establishing a sustainable and climate-resilient African economy, postCOVID-19, focusing on Kenya, South Africa, Rwanda, and Zimbabwe. Utilising the United Nation's ClimatePositive Action Framework, document analysis, and a systematic literature review, it examines these nations' investment in climate action. Findings reveal a decrease in climate funding during the pandemic, with notable gaps in climate finance, including reallocations away from climate-related ministries and delays in project implementation. This decline in climate action poses risks to sustainability and climate resilience. To mitigate these risks, the study emphasizes the need for frameworks to mobilize external and domestic resources for climate action. Despite ongoing challenges posed by COVID-19, proactive measures are essential to maintain focus on climate action.
