Climate change has affected more than ten million people in Mozambique in the last ten years, and caused damage to various social and economic infrastructures, Prime Minister Adriano Maleiane told a virtual session of the third summit of heads of state and government of the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM).

The government says that it will continue to implement reforms to reduce the impact of climate change and improve food security in the country.

“Of the actions we have been adopting, we would like to highlight the implementation of the following instruments: the 2017/2030 disaster risk reduction master plan and law 10/2020 on disaster risk management; the creation of the National Institute of Management and Disaster Risk Reduction, which responds directly to the Council of Ministers; the creation of the Disaster Management Fund, which is a dedicated bank account to finance reinforcement, preparedness, response, operation and post-disaster reconstruction activities; and the contracting of Sovereign Insurance for the financial protection of the state,” Prime Minister Adriano Maleiane said on Wednesday.
