Abstract

Climate change and its attendant fierce impacts, furious and devastating and almost everywhere, paint a grim future for humanity. What worked before is no longer viable. We have severe droughts and killer fires, heavy rains and furious floods, mudslides and receding ice lines! What does this mean? Well, it means that the most basic needs: food, water, and shelter are affected. But then, moving food and other essential items is impaired by destroyed roads, bridges, and airports. Take the cases of Morocco and Libya, for example. We often hear of hurricanes in other parts of the world, mostly coastal countries of Asia and the Americas, but rarely in Africa. Well, until recently. The Africa I know has had its share of natural calamities, mostly frequent droughts. Droughts are extreme and tend to wipe out livestock and crops, interfere with water and forest food sources, and result in famines that threaten human life.
