Abstract: Abstract Climate Change is a reality, and we all experience flooding, heavy rains, drought, burning of forest and grassland, and desertification of agricultural land, not only in Africa but all around the World. It is a fact that climate change is rapidly changing our cities, agriculture, oceans, and nature. Most people accept that climate change is due to human activity causing increasing temperatures in the atmosphere, the oceans, the ice (cryosphere), and on land. Commitments to climate neutrality and the Paris Agreement on 1.5 - 2 oC have been made, but little action has been implemented. Climate change will cause the largest migration of refugees seen in centries. This chapter provides an scientific insight into what is causing climate change, where the emissions originate from and what consequenses they will have.
