Climate Change, Hunger, and Extreme Poverty in Africa: A Case Study of Egypt
摘要
The global crises of poverty and hunger, exacerbated by climate change, affect millions worldwide. This study investigates climate change's impact on achieving SDGs 1 and 2, focusing on hunger and poverty in Africa, with a specific focus on Egypt. Findings reveal that climate variability harms livestock, fisheries, and food security, while rising sea levels and melting ice increase land salinity, reducing agricultural productivity. In Egypt, rising sea levels threaten the Nile Delta, jeopardizing agricultural output. The study recommends infrastructure enhancements, international cooperation, and promoting heat-tolerant, water-efficient crops to address these challenges.
