Africa's Challenge
Africa's Challenge
Climate change is impacting Africans everywhere, every day. Floods, droughts, heatwaves, sea level rise and changing rainfall patterns are undermining Africa’s economy and livelihoods. As climate change increasingly hits the continent, our hard-fought development gains are at stake. Only with the most innovative, fast and large scale adaptation action Africa can become the prospering continent it has the potential to be.
