The Sudan-Sahel region has long been vulnerable to environmental change. However, the intensification of global warming has led to unprecedented challenges that require a detailed understanding of climate change for this region. This study analyzes the impacts of climate change for Burkina Faso using ...
Such assistance would need a baseline, which ideally would set a precise date for specific impacts of climate change. This article presents the results of statistical tests that we carried out and, for the African region of the Sahel, finds that for precipitation (affecting food supply), ...
A United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) report in 2006 (“Climate Change and Variability in the Sahel Region: Impacts and Adaptation Strategies in the Agricultural Sector”) [http://www.unep.org/Themes/Freshwater/Documents/pdf/ClimateChangeSahelCombine.pdf] states: “The increase in aggregate f...
Climate change will drive major perturbations of the West African summer monsoon. A zonal contrast in precipitation will develop at the end of the century, with an increase in precipitation over the central Sahel and a decrease in precipitation over the western Sahel. Such a zonal contrast results...
Speaking about unity and cooperation, Zhang said that the Sahel region faces multiple challenges, such as terrorism, food security, poverty reduction, development, and climate change, and is more severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical conflicts. ...
She further noted that the root causes are found in discrimination, human rights violations, weak governance, conflict, and the impact of climate change in the region. "Only a collective, integrated and inclusive approach, owned and led by the countries of the region, will support sustained prog...
We conclude that the high, statistically significant correlation between the ERA-20CM reanalysis and the observational CRU dataset together with the lower dry bias makes this dataset most suitable for low-frequency climate analysis in the Sahel region. As demon- strated herein, the ensemble mean ...

Climate change is causing extreme temperatures, fluctuating rainfall and drought in the Sahel, a region where 250 million people in ten countries live, whose livelihoods and hard-won development gains are threatened. The plan for the Great Green Wall is to plant a mosaic of trees, gras...
