The Sahelian Impact Nexus: Climate Change and Human Security Vulnerabilities

Key Points

This research aims to assess the impact of climate change on human security in the Sahel region of Nigeria.
Utilized participatory action research involving local stakeholders.
Collected data on climate resilience and vulnerabilities in the region.
Analyzed correlations between rainfall variability and food insecurity.
Found a significant correlation between rainfall variability and food insecurity in pastoral communities (r = -0.65, p < 0.01).
Identified climate change as a factor exacerbating human security risks.
Recommended implementing early warning systems for droughts to enhance resilience.

Abstract

The Sahel region of Nigeria is facing significant climate change impacts, posing challenges to human security. A participatory action research approach was employed, involving local stakeholders to gather data on climate resilience and vulnerabilities. Significant correlations were observed between rainfall variability and food insecurity among pastoral communities (r = -0.65, p < 0.01). Climate change exacerbates human security risks in the Sahel, necessitating immediate intervention strategies. Implementing early warning systems for droughts is recommended to enhance resilience of affected populations. Sahel, climate change, human security, participatory action research
