CLIMATE CHANGE THREATENS STABILITY ACROSS AFRICA

Africa is at a pivotal moment as climate change disproportionately impacts nations and exacerbates political instability across the continent. Fragile states plagued by conflict struggle with weak institutions, corruption, and human rights abuses that undermine social cohesion. Climate threats are increasing food insecurity, natural disasters, and resource competition, which could trigger public health emergencies if adaptation efforts are not scaled up. The disproportionate burden of the climate emergency on African nations demands urgent international recalibration of relationships and support.
