Africa The Most Vulnerable To Climate Change
...but the rest of the world is not far off


The world is facing its greatest man-made threat ever – climate change - and Africa is set to be its biggest target and greatest tragedy.
Africa has contributed less than any other region to the greenhouse gas emissions that are widely held responsible for global warming, yet the continent is also the most vulnerable to the consequences.
Many researchers have already warned that a three-degree Celsius rise in temperature over the next century will increase the risk of drought, wildfires and forest loss in many parts of the developing world.
They also warn that the increased periodic warming of the Pacific Ocean known as El Niño and a similar phenomenon called the North Atlantic Oscillation effect threatens food supplies for millions of Africans by reducing crop yields.
