Rationale for Change
• IMF: 86 of the 100 fastest growing cities
in 2018-2023 will be in Africa. 79 are at
“extreme risk” to climate impacts
• 48% of the entire African continent’s GDP
is exposed to extreme risk to climate
impacts.
• US Federal Report: 10% of the US
economy is also vulnerable to climate
change.
• Solution: Greening economies!
