PROBLEMS
- Agriculture represents 20%-50% of GDP for most african countries
- 350M people are at risk of food insecurity because of climate change
- The sharp rise in temperatures in many African regions is a strong threat to Agriculture. The consequences are visible and intensify from year to year
- Women are the most impacted group by climate change
- Access to financing in the agricultural sector is extremely difficult, especially for women's cooperatives
OPPORTUNITIES
- Africa’s assets , e.g biodiversity, vast arable, land, abundant renewable energy, large carbon sinks
- Sub-Sahara Africa must create 20M net jobs each year over the next twenty years to “absorb new arrivals on the labor markets” (IMF)
- Financing sustainable projects for the transition to greener, climate-resilient agriculture is more profitable
- Resilience to climate change in the education sector is a priority to fight against: children dropping out of school, lack of access to excellent studies for girls, early marriages, problems of access to basic needs for the youth
- Train more engineers and technicians in Africa and putting industry back at the heart of training
