The Sahel's Human Security Under Climate Change Stress: A Comparative Analysis in Eritrea

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: The Sahel region in Eritrea is facing significant climate change impacts, affecting human security and livelihoods. A mixed-methods research design combining quantitative data from climate change indicators with qualitative interviews to assess human security dimensions such as food security, health, and safety. There is a notable decline in crop yields by 15% due to prolonged drought periods affecting over 60% of the farming population. Climate change exacerbates existing vulnerabilities leading to increased risks of malnutrition and displacement among Sahelian communities. Implementing early warning systems for climate-related disasters, improving access to agricultural insurance, and enhancing community resilience programmes are recommended.
