Research paper thumbnail of How International Cooperation can strengthen the Fight on Climate change and its Impact in Africa

Kevin Oduor Odhiambo , 2024

As a result, Climate Diplomacy has inevitably and arguably become a very vital tool in tackling this global predicament. It acts as a neutral point for balancing various states' interests and that of the continents survival interest. This work therefore, seeks to highlight some of the already existing byproducts from international cooperation geared towards the fight on climate change and its impacts in Africa as well as give suggestions and recommendations on some areas in which international cooperation can further strengthen its fight on climate change and its impact in Africa.
