"UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has released a report ... [warning] that [food, financial and energy] crises have eroded economic and social gains made in Africa ... [recognising] that climate change is already having a major impact on the ability of Africa to feed its people, protect them from the vagaries of nature, grow its economies and conserve its environment ... [and] that African countries [are] projected to bear the brunt of the impact." (Quoted from article)
