Africa Experiences Unprecedented Warming

Africa is heating up at a faster rate than the rest of the planet and enduring more severe climate and weather disasters such as droughts, a joint report by United Nations and African Union said on Monday, warning that climate change could stoke conflict over resources. The report, coinciding with Africa's first climate summit in Kenya, where financing is set to be in focus, noted the average rate of warming in Africa was 0.3 degrees Celsius per decade in the 1991–2022 period, compared with 0.2 degrees in the world as a whole.
