Climate change and population growth for food security in Sub-Saharan Africa.

What is it about?

In Sub-Saharan African countries, climate change poses a significant threat. It's essential for these countries to build resilient societies and ensure sustainable economic growth. To address this, they've joined various climate initiatives like the Paris climate agreement and Agenda 2063, which includes climate-related goals since 2013. To effectively meet these commitments and benefit citizens, it's crucial for policies at both sector and national levels to be informed by scientific research. We're focusing on studying how climate change affects agriculture and future consumption patterns in rural and urban areas, especially considering population movements.
