100THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN EGYPT
Volume : 9, Issue : 3, March - 2022
Abstract : Climate change has been identified as an environmental and human crisis of the 21st century, which led to public, political and academic attention being devoted to the issue of global warming and climate change. At the root of climate change is global warming caused by anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases (for example, burning of fossil fuels, like coal, petroleum and natural gasses and widespread deforestation). The warming occurs world-wide and temperatures are rising on the African land mass and in the surrounding oceans. A broad scientific and political consensus has been established that climate change poses a considerable threat to Africa, its ecosystems and many of its species. Concern over the negative impact of climate change has strengthened fears that environmental degradation and demographic pressures will displace millions of people in Africa and create serious social upheaval. Most scientists studying the potential impact of climate change have predicted that Africa is likely to experience higher temperatures, the drying up of soils, increased pest and disease pressure, shift in suitable areas for growing crops and livestock, increased desertification in the Sahara region, floods, deforestation, and erosion are all signs that cli mate change is already happening and represents one of the greatest environmental, social and economic threats facing Africa.
