Abstract: Climate change caused by greenhouse emissions from anthropogenic activities poses unparalleled challenges to global sustainability. Under climate change, average temperatures are rising, rainfall is unpredictable and extreme weather events are more common. The Sahel region of Africa is particularly vulnerable to climate change due to its geography, climate systems and high socio-economic dependency on agriculture and livestock sectors. Sahelian temperatures are increasing faster than global average and rainfall is unpredictable, with shorter seasons and frequent droughts contrasted by flooding.
