Ghana angry on western powers for donating a meagre 55 million dollar out of pledged 25 billion dollar to Africa for fighting climate change
Ghana President Akufo-Addo said that the Africa emits just 2 to 3 percent of the world’s carbon emissions despite being home to nearly 17 percent of the world’s population. Whereas G20 countries are responsible for 80 percent of global carbon emissions.
There are 54 countries in Africa and each will hardly get a million dollar to fight climate change which is a joke, He added.
He was speaking about the Rotterdam summit which was set up to discuss climate change financing for Africa ahead of the 27th annual summit of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP27). The COP27 will be held this November in Egypt.
Developed nations had pledged in the Rotterdam summit to donate about bn by 2025 to boost Africa’s efforts to adapt to climate change.
Africa will need between .3 and .6 trillion this decade to implement its commitments to the Paris climate agreement, he concluded.
3rd edition of WADA Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) Symposium is being held in India
National Anti Doping Agency (NADA) along with NDTL are hosting this global event in New Delhi from October 12 to 14, 2022.
Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) is a better and more powerful anti-doping tool that monitors selected biological variables over time to reveal the effects of doping rather than attempting to detect the doping substance or method itself. It works against doping through enhanced target testing and analysis, investigations, deterrence, and as indirect evidence for use of prohibited methods or substances.
Doping test is taken to prevent sportsperson from taking undue advantage of performance enhancing drugs in order to win games.
The first WADA ABP Symposium was hosted by Qatar in 2015 while Italy had hosted the second edition in 2018.
Over 200 participants from 56 Countries including WADA Officials, athletes, anti doping experts and laboratories are attending this anti-doping symposium.
