Uganda’s minister for water and environment professor Ephraim Kamuntu calls on developing nations on behalf of African countries to implement the global agreement on climate change that was signed by about 200 nations in the world to reduce the green gas emissions to the atmosphere.
While opening an international conference on sustainable consumption and production, professor Kamuntu said that the African continent only contributes 4% to the emissions emitted to the atmosphere and Uganda contributes only 0.01 % but the impact of climate change on the economies is not proportion to the emissions unlike those developing nations.
Kamuntu says something should be done by the developing nations in the world in order to mitigate the effects of climatic change in order to alleviate poverty.
