Global warming has become an irreversible trend. IPCC’s sixth assessment report found that from 2010–2020, the global surface temperature had reached 1.1 °C above pre-industrial levels, and has a 50% or greater likelihood of reaching the internationally critical threshold of 1.5 °C of warming in the near future(Mukherji et al. 2023). However, climate impacts such as the rate of warming are unequal across Earth’s continents and regions. Africa has experienced rising temperatures at a faster rate than global scales, the rate of increase reaching double the global average in some areas (Li et al. 2022a; Ringard et al. 2016).
