Climate change is perhaps the greatest existential threat of our time. The most reliable evidence today shows that every inhabited region across the globe is already affected and that no place on earth will be immune to its effects.
In Africa, the effects are expected to be particularly damaging. For instance, climate change threatens crop productivity in regions that are already food insecure. And since agriculture provides the largest number of jobs, reduced crop productivity will worsen unemployment.
Yet from all indicators, as a global community, we are behind schedule on the pathway to limiting warming to 1.5 degrees to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. It is certainly time for decisive action. African nations are rising to the challenge.
