President William Ruto has called for reforms to the financial system, saying Africa needs affordable financing, strong guarantees and risk-sharing mechanisms to unlock investment, create jobs and build climate resilience. Speaking in New York, where he chaired the Committee of Heads of State and Government on Climate Change, Ruto said Africa’s climate ambitions cannot be achieved without addressing financing challenges. He urged the world to view climate action as an opportunity for growth, resilience and protecting communities.
