Climate Change
Over the years we have seen communities being severely affected by the effects

Climate change in Africa now poses a real threat that could potentially reverse the
developmental gains achieved by African countries over the years. Most of
Africa’s population is highly vulnerable to climate change effects.

Increased frequency of extreme weather events – More severe
droughts, floods, and storms disrupt communities and livelihoods.
Decline in agricultural productivity – Shifts in rainfall patterns and
higher temperatures reduce crop yields and threaten food security.
Water scarcity – Reduced rainfall and changing weather patterns
diminish water availability for drinking, farming, and industry.
Loss of biodiversity – Changes in ecosystems and habitats lead to the
decline or extinction of plant and animal species.
Increased health risks – Higher temperatures and changing climates
spread diseases like malaria and worsen malnutrition due to food
