U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris announced $7 billion in both private sector and government financing across 27 programs to promote climate resilience and mitigation across Africa. The announcement was made in Zambia as part of Harris’ week-long Africa tour aimed at strengthening U.S.-Africa relations, particularly across the climate, energy transition and financing sectors. The funding aims to improve access to climate information services, enhance resilience and adaption while advancing the continent’s energy transition through the provision of capital and knowledge sharing.
