LISTING IDEAS FOR FUTURE VIDEOS IN AFRICA:

1-IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE – CONTEXT :

• Africa is one of the most vulnerable continents to climate variability and change because of multiple existing stresses and low adaptive capacity. Existing stresses include poverty, political conflicts, and ecosystem degradation.

• By 2050, between 350 million and 601 million people are projected to experience increased water stress due to climate change

• Climate variability and change is projected to severely compromise agricultural production, including access to food, across Africa

• Toward the end of the 21th century, projected sea level rise will likely affect low-lying coastal areas with large populations

• Climate variability and change can negatively impact human health. In many African countries, other factors already threaten human health. For example, malaria threatens health in southern Africa and the Eastern Highlands.

Let’s try to finetune these topics to the level of individual countries and make a list of subjects to be featured. Your ideas are welcome, please get in touch.

2-ACTIONS AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE – ADAPTATION AND MITIGATION:

Climate change adaptation is a response, that seeks to reduce the vulnerability of social and biological systems to relatively sudden change and thus offset the effects of global warming.

Examples of mitigation include reducing energy demand by increasing energy efficiency, phasing out fossil fuels by switching to low-carbon energy sources, and removing carbon dioxide from Earth’s atmosphere, for example, through improved building insulation. Another approach to climate change mitigation is climate engineering.
