Climate change as a security & development problem

The dimensions and consequences of climate change pose enormous challenges, especially for Africa. The problems are no longer limited to the more direct consequences such as water and food shortages or environmental disasters, but climate change also functions in particular as a multiplier of the existing danger situation, exacerbating conflicts, creating new threats and exacerbating already existing dangers. In addition to making the security and development consequences and threats related to climate change more visible and better understood, it is also important to find solutions and to focus on the possibilities for action of the actors on the African continent.
