Climate-vulnerable Africa faces significant gaps in early warning systems, leaving millions at risk from extreme weather
Climate-related events affected at least 13 million people across Africa in 2025. Over the last decade alone, extreme weather has affected populations in Africa disproportionately. Tropical Cyclone Freddy (February 2023) caused widespread flooding and led to over 1,500 deaths, and in 2015–16 a drought in southern Africa led to widespread crop failure and food insecurity for 40 million people.
