Climate change in West Africa has led to increased temperatures and altered rainfall patterns, resulting in more frequent and severe droughts and flooding. These changes have forced many communities to migrate from rural areas that rely on agriculture to urban centers in search of more stable livelihoods and resources. Additionally, the degradation of arable land has exacerbated food insecurity, prompting further shifts in population as people seek better living conditions and opportunities. As a result, urban areas have seen significant growth, while traditional farming regions face economic and environmental challenges.

How did the climate change in west Africa affect people?

Climate change in West Africa has led to increased temperatures, altered rainfall patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events, such as droughts and floods.

Additionally, water scarcity has intensified, affecting access to clean drinking water and exacerbating health issues. As a result, migration and conflict over resources have also increased, further straining social cohesion in the region.
