Climate Change and Human Security in the Sahel of Central Africa: An Analytical Framework

The Sahel region of Central Africa is facing significant climate variability and change, which has profound implications for human security. A mixed-methods approach combining qualitative interviews with quantitative data analysis will be employed to explore these issues. Climate-induced drought has led to a notable increase (30%) in food insecurity among pastoral communities, highlighting vulnerabilities exacerbated by changing precipitation patterns. The Sahel's human security landscape is increasingly threatened by climate change, necessitating targeted interventions and policy reforms. Immediate adaptation measures should focus on improving water management systems and increasing access to drought-resistant crops. climate change, Sahel, human security, food insecurity, Central Africa
