This alarming statistic is a stark reminder of the devastating impact climate change has on our continent. From relentless droughts in the Horn of Africa to catastrophic floods in West Africa, the frequency and intensity of these events are escalating. In 2023 alone, extreme weather events claimed over 15,000 lives across Africa. The root cause? Human-induced climate change is driven by greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation. These changes disrupt weather patterns, leading to more severe and unpredictable weather events. By investing in renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and eco-friendly infrastructure, we can mitigate the devastating impacts of extreme weather and save lives. Join us in this mission.
