Climate experts are warning that Africa could face significant climate disruptions during the 2026–2027 period due to the possible development of a strong El Niño event. The phenomenon may trigger droughts, floods, food insecurity, disease outbreaks, and economic losses across different regions of the continent. Experts emphasize the importance of early warning systems, climate monitoring, and proactive preparedness measures to protect vulnerable communities and strengthen resilience against future climate shocks.
Leaving No Elder Behind in Climate Action
As climate change intensifies across the Greater Horn of Africa, older persons remain among the most vulnerable and underserved populations. Many face barriers to accessing climate information due to mobility limitations, health conditions, low digital access, and social isolation. The policy brief calls for inclusive climate services, age-sensitive early warning systems, and stronger support mechanisms to ensure that older persons can effectively prepare for and respond to climate-related disasters
Climate Services Must Work for Africa’s Older Persons
Older persons possess valuable indigenous knowledge and experience that can strengthen community resilience, yet they are often excluded from climate planning and early warning systems. Improving accessibility through localized communication, community outreach, and age-responsive policies can help protect elderly populations from climate hazards while recognizing their important role in adaptation and resilience-building efforts. The article emphasizes that climate justice requires ensuring no elder is left behind.
