Climate Change... Key Reason Threatening Africa's Food Security

A set of scenarios identified by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) shoed the impacts of climate change in Africa.

IPCC predicts a two-degree warming by 2050, causing 30% more precipitation along the equator in the humid regions of Africa. In contrast, precipitation would decrease by 20% in dry areas.

During the 2020 floods, 1.2 million Africans have been displaced from Sub-Saharan Africa due to a 10-fold increase in the floods in the region.

The food situation in Africa is mainly affected by climatic changes. Many of the staple crops of African diets such as wheat and maize will face significant challenges to survive in the high temperatures.

Reduced rainfall will threaten up to 95% of Africa's farmers because they depend primarily on rain.

Low rainfall in many parts of Africa will put agriculture on the African continent on edge. There is a dire warning of what's to come: For the third time in a row, the Horn of Africa is experiencing a failed rainy season that has destroyed crops and killed livestock.
