Africa has more than 30 of the world’s most indebted countries, Kenya’s cabinet secretary for the environment, Soipan Tuya, said. U.S. Special Envoy for Climate John Kerry delivers his announcement during the Africa Climate Summit 2023 at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre in Nairobi on September 5, 2023.
The U.S. government’s special climate envoy, John Kerry, agreed and acknowledged the “acute, unfair debt” carried by Africa nations must be addressed.
