Sustainability, climate and natural resources.
Environment
Environmental protection is one of the foundations of sustainable development.
The World Bank considers natural capital — forests, land, water resources, oceans, and biodiversity — an essential lever for development.
Africa is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, despite its historically low contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions.
Deforestation, land degradation, water pollution, and biodiversity loss threaten the livelihoods of millions of people across the continent.
Preserving African ecosystems
Key Figures
65% of Africa's arable land is degraded, according to the FAO.
Africa hosts 25% of the world's biodiversity but suffers 40% of global deforestation.
