Officials from two dozen African nations and US climate envoy John Kerry gathered in Egypt on Wednesday for a conference to drum up funding for tackling climate change.
The three-day forum comes days after African leaders lashed out at industrialised nations for failing to show up at a summit in the Dutch city of Rotterdam dedicated to helping African countries adapt to climate impacts.
