Story By: BBC

African leaders have issued a declaration proposing new taxes across the world to fund action against climate change.

The Nairobi Declaration was issued at the end of the three-day Africa Climate Summit in the Kenyan capital.

The heads of state say the declaration will form the basis of their negotiating position at November’s COP28 summit in Dubai.
