Africa's nations must develop strategies to address climate change which poses an existential threat to the continent's megacities, Gabon's President Ali Bongo Adimba said at the third Africa Climate Week conference.

African officials and experts should sharpen the positions they will present at the 27th annual United Nations climate conference to be held in Egypt in November, said Bongo.
