Africa deserves the highest priority attention at the upcoming twenty-seventh United Nations’ climate conference – the Conference of the Parties 27 (COP 27), to be held in Egypt, in November, panel members said in a discussion of the the African Development Bank’s (AfDB’s) African Economic Outlook 2022 report during an event hosted by the Atlantic Council on July 27.
A team from the AfDB, led by acting chief economist and VP Kevin Urama, is in Washington DC, in the US, to present the African Economic Outlook 2022 – a flagship publication of the bank – to international thought leaders and other targeted bodies.
