Climate Change and Human Security in Mali's Sahel Region: A Comparative Study

Year: 2006

Type: article

Abstract: Climate change is increasingly affecting human security in Mali's Sahel region, characterized by its arid and semi-arid climate. A comparative study using mixed-methods approach including interviews, focus group discussions, and secondary data analysis from governmental sources. There is a significant disparity in the vulnerability to climate-induced shocks between rural pastoralist communities (60%) and sedentary farming populations (40%). Rural communities are more vulnerable to climate change impacts, necessitating targeted interventions for human security. Investment in early warning systems and community-based adaptation strategies should be prioritised to mitigate the adverse effects on human security.
