For many African communities, the climate crisis is not a future scenario – it is a daily emergency. Irreversible losses, destroyed homes, failed harvests, vanishing ecosystems and lack of access to clean water are already happening.
I’m a researcher in how to manage the risks of climate change and protect communities against climate disasters. I work with the International Water Management Institute, a non-profit organisation that works to improve water and land management to enhance food security, livelihoods and climate resilience.
