Continental and Regional Capacity Building Workshop on Drought Monitoring and Early Warning for Early/Anticipatory Action
Climate change projections for Africa indicate a future marked by increased climate extremes, posing significant challenges across the continent. As global temperatures continue to rise, Africa is expected to experience more intense and frequent altered precipitation patterns leading to both severe droughts and heavy rainfall events, and an increase in the occurrence of extreme weather events such as cyclones and floods. These changes are likely to have profound impacts on water availability, food security, public health, and biodiversity.
