Among the consequences of climate change is drought, which absorbs freshwater resources, particularly in the countries of the Horn of Africa, in the Sahel and in southern Madagascar. Floods also have a strong impact on human activities and the environment. Far from being exhaustive on the causes and consequences of worsening climate change on the continent, AFRIK 21 presents in this special report, the needs of Africa vis-à-vis the international community to implement its adaptation strategies and the thorny issue of access to climate finance.
