Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Since the 1800s, , primarily due to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. We are at a defining moment for climate change. From threated food production, to rising sea levels that increase the risk of catastrophic flooding, the impacts of climate change are global in scope and unprecedented in scale. Without drastic action today, adapting to these impacts in the future will be more difficult and costly.

The land alongside the Nile has always been fertile, but sea levels rise as the earth’s temperatures rise, making this low-lying area one of the world’s three most vulnerable spots to climate change. It’s not just local people who are suffering the consequences. The Nile Delta is the breadbasket of Egypt, accounting for almost two thirds of the country's agricultural land and contributing to a fifth of the national GDP. Thanks to ’s project, infrastructure, training and services are combined to not only protect the land, but also to improve the quality of previously infertile land.

While Africa contributes just 4 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, the continent is being hammered by the fallout from climate change.  Already it is seeing extreme weather events, mass migration and rising poverty and hunger. Tanzanian environmental and climate expert Jacqueline Tesha is working to help rural women in her homeland access vital weather and climate information. She is participating in a programme working to develop climate tools to better anticipate and mitigate disasters. “We must halt the crisis and help people adapt,” Tesha says.  Finding the right channels to communicate key climate information will be essential to that goal.
