Climate Change and Human Security in the Sahel: A Theoretical Framework
Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: The Sahel region of Central African Republic is particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts, including droughts and erratic rainfall patterns. No empirical data are used; instead, a comprehensive review of existing literature is conducted to identify key themes and vulnerabilities associated with climate change impacts on human security. This theoretical framework underscores the critical need for integrated adaptation strategies that consider both environmental resilience and socio-economic stability in Sahelian regions. Policy makers should prioritise investments in early warning systems and climate-resilient infrastructure to mitigate future human security risks.
