Storyline
Wrapping up a visit to four countries in southern and eastern Africa ahead of COP 28, Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Joyce Msuya stressed the United Nations’ commitment to standing with the people and Governments of the region as the climate crisis drives humanitarian needs ever higher.
In Mozambique, the first country on her trip, Msuya saw first-hand how the combined impact of cyclones, conflict and climate change has plunged more than 2 million people into humanitarian need.
