Climate Wars: The Sahel
Will Robson investigates how climate change is acting as the catalyst to migration, violent disputes over water and the growth of brutal armed extremists in Africa's Sahel region.
The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report identified the Sahel as a 鈥榗limate change hot spot鈥�, a region where human security is particularly threatened by the effects of global warming.
Will Robson explores the area鈥檚 war-torn history and investigates how climate change is acting as the catalyst to migration, violent disputes over water and the growth of brutal armed extremists. He hears from those caught in the middle of conflicts in Mali and the Lake Chad region and discovers how drought and rapid desertification are fanning the flames of violence.
Produced by Simon Jarvis and Tom Roseingrave. A Whistledown Production for the 大象传媒 World Service.
