The document discusses facts and figures related to protracted crises countries and climate change and resilience in Africa. It notes that 36 countries experienced protracted crises in 2021, accounting for 74% of people in need of humanitarian assistance. Many of these countries face high climate vulnerability. Climate change is already exacerbating food insecurity and poverty on the continent through increased temperatures, reduced rainfall, and more extreme weather. While African countries and organizations are working to build climate resilience through strategies, plans, and financing, significant challenges remain around access to financing, weak institutions, and lack of evidence to inform policymaking. An integrated approach is needed to address the complex interactions between social, economic, and ecological systems for effective climate resilience.
