As the leaders’ summit drew to a close in Antalya, Türkiye, on 12 November, African leaders called on wealthy countries to deliver on their climate finance pledges. They spelled out what that funding could do, from helping farmers cope with erratic growing seasons and small island states recover from storms to expanding electricity access and creating jobs. At the Africa Pavilion, the day’s programme focused on investment in water and sanitation and on getting early warnings to communities before disasters strike. Bird story agency’s Seth Onyango captures day four of COP31 in pictures.
