Beverly Musili, policy analyst at the Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis, and Tomas Hurdsone, CEO of Youth Green Space Action, discuss the outcomes of this year’s COP. Both view resolutions on loss and damage as a positive outcome, as well as the solidarity displayed by African youth. Looking ahead however, they highlight the need for more climate financing and establishment of an African Youth Council.
