Climate Literacy

latest news & developments

By 2050, up to 5% of Africa’s population — potentially 113 million people — may have to leave their homes because of the effects of climate change, a figure that is up from 1.5% today.

Climate change will force 113 million Africans to migrate by 2050

Most of this will happen within countries, with a second migration across borders taking place under extreme social or environmental conditions
