Africa should be treated fairly while addressing global climate challenges as the continent contributes the smallest share to green house gas emissions globally, OPEC Secretary General Haitham Al Ghais said on Tuesday.

Addressing an energy conference in Cape Town, the head of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries said oil demand in Africa was expected to rise close to 80% between now and 2045 and that the continent needed more support and collaboration.

Africa holds around 13% of the world's natural gas and 7% of its oil but has the world's lowest per capita energy use.
