Changement climatique dans les montagnes africaines: un défi croissant et la contribution des réponses locales d’adaptation

The document details how climate change is manifesting in African mountains through rising temperatures and erratic precipitation, leading to decreased crop yields and livestock production. It highlights that while farmers are adapting by changing planting dates and adopting new crop varieties, they face significant barriers such as limited access to credit and land, and the destabilizing effects of violent conflict.

• Local observations of climate change in African mountains include rising temperatures, reduced fog, changes in the amount and distribution of precipitation, an increase in extreme weather events, more frequent extreme droughts, a decrease in hail, and stronger winds during the rainy season.
• Climate-related impacts are widespread, specifically causing lower yields for crops such as maize, cassava, and coffee, and reduced cow milk production. Other reported impacts include increased pests and diseases, degraded human health, reduced stream flow, increased landslides, and heightened soil erosion.
