Sep 19, 2022 · WASHINGTON, September 19, 2022 – Newly released Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) for the G5 Sahel region estimates that up to 13.5 million people across the Sahel could fall into poverty due to climate change-related shocks by 2050 if urgent climate adaptation measures are not taken.

To explore the climate change in the past warming climate, data produced by 15 models as part of the PlioMIP2 are used here (Table 1; Haywood et al. 2016a). Because of the absence of some data necessary, we do not include the MIROC4m and MRI-CGCM 2.3 models here. According to the experimental design of the PlioMIP2 (Haywood et al. 2016a), each mode...
The paleoenvironmental records that reflect the Pliocene rainfall changes are from previous studies (Burls and Fedorov, 2017; Feng et al. 2022). Because of the scarcity of proxies over the Sahel region, the proxies close to the Sahel region are also considered, which may be influenced by the WASM. Therefore, nine proxy records (see triangles in Fig...
The atmospheric moisture budget decomposition is a widely used method of precipitation attribution analysis (Chou et al. 2009; Seager et al. 2010; Han et al. 2020). For the monthly or seasonal mean, the local rate change in atmospheric precipitable water vapor (\\(\\partial w/\\partial t\\)) can be neglected and the moisture budget equation can be writ...
The Sahel climate is characterised by extreme temperatures with fluctuating periods of rainfall and intense drought. The area is particularly vulnerable to climate change, according to the United Nations , with temperatures increasing at 1.5 times the rate of the global average.
Aug 9, 2017 · The decreased Sahel summer rainfall was associated with enhanced summer latent heating over the South Asian and western Pacific summer monsoon region and anomalous zonal-vertical cell of the...

Jul 29, 2021 · 29 July, 2021. © Peggy und Marco Lachmann-Anke/Pixabay.com. What role does climate change play in the Sahel’s current instability? What are the best climate emergency adaptation strategies to promote in the area? What role does Europe play in the Central Sahel’s climate resilience, and what role could it play in the future?
Nov 16, 2022 · Even with ambitious climate mitigation policies, temperatures in the Sahel are predicted to rise 2.5°C by 2080. If urgent action is further delayed, they could increase by 4.3°C. Despite the negative trends, the Sahel is endowed with abundant natural resources.
