Mozambique has put a $37.2 billion estimate on a decade of climate resilience work, with President Daniel Chapo presenting the figure at the COP31 Leaders’ Summit in Antalya, Anadolu Agency reported.
Chapo cited more than 76 extreme weather events between 2000 and 2025 and said they caused economic losses of more than $4.5 billion, Anadolu reported.
Anadolu Agency reported Mozambique’s share of global greenhouse gas emissions at 0.14%, while describing it as among the countries most affected by climate change; cyclones, floods and droughts were among the hazards cited.
Chapo warned that the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius was under threat, Anadolu Agency reported. He also warned that El Niño forecasts could worsen drought, water scarcity, forest fires and food insecurity, Anadolu reported.
