# A new report has stressed that Africa should hold more of its own climate summits to secure a fair deal on phasing out fossil fuels and financing renewable energy. According to Down To Earth, Africa needs approximately 33-trillion-rand by 2030 to transition, but most climate funds arrive as debt-inducing loans. Despite contributing less than five-percent of global emissions, Africa remains highly vulnerable, with nearly 600-million people lacking electricity. They call on the upcoming Africa Climate Summit in Ethiopia to push for justice, finance, and indigenous climate solutions.
