Climate change effects weighing heavier on African citizens – EIB

An Africa edition of the ‘2022 Climate Survey’ conducted by the European Investment Bank (EIB) has found that 88% of African respondents believe climate change is already affecting their everyday life, while 61% believe that climate change and environmental damage have affected their income or source of livelihood. The effects to income and livelihoods are typically a result of severe drought, rising sea levels or coastal erosion, or extreme weather events such as floods or hurricanes.
