Complex Societies More at Risk from Climate Change Than Any Other Regions, Say Expats in Africa!



Scientists point out that climate change interacts with global trends such as unsustainable use of natural resources, growing urbanization, social inequalities, losses and damages from extreme events and a pandemic, jeopardizing future development. Consumerism and interconnectivity based on carbon economy is the Achilles heel of the West! Sub Saharan Africa is the primary source for food and water and the west is watching and waiting!


The impacts of human-induced climate change are leading to significant and widespread disruptions in nature, posing risks to billions of people over the coming decades as the global warming tipping point of 1.5°C (2.7°F) is expected to be reached before 2035. Going beyond this temperature increase will lead to increasingly severe consequences, some of which may be irreversible. Despite attempts to mitigate the risks, the threats to society, infrastructure, and coastal communities worldwide are on the rise. The world is confronted with an imminent series of climate-related disasters!


The narration being pushed to the world is false in that it exclaims from all media sources that those who will be most adversely affected and suffering the greatest losses are the least able to participate in current decision-making and more must be done to ensure they have a say in their future, including children and youth, women, persons with disabilities, indigenous peoples and minorities. This is a smokescreen to make the so-called first world feel confident they are in no immediate danger a simple look at a map of global water resilience shows that Sub-Saharan Africa, Greenland and the Antarctic will have the most water stability and best infrastructure for surviving global warming.


Martinique and New Caledonia have recently cut economic ties with France, a decision deeply rooted in the historical exploitation of resources by European countries. The agricultural sector's vulnerability is a worldwide concern, facing threats from irreversible climate changes that threaten adequate production and food supplies. This issue presents challenges to global feeding patterns, particularly in nations where agriculture is crucial to the economy and productivity. Additionally, climate change endangers numerous species by shifting optimal temperature ranges, thereby accelerating biodiversity loss and ecosystem alterations. Climate variations also increase the risk of food and waterborne diseases, as well as vector-borne diseases, as seen with the recent coronavirus pandemic. Furthermore, climate change is exacerbating the issue of antimicrobial resistance, creating another health hazard due to the emergence of resistant infections. The global tourism industry is also impacted, as climate change adversely affects renowned tourist destinations.


Meanwhile as European nations clamor to send their Middle Eastern, Caribbean and Indian citizens back home and revoke their citizenship the elite who can afford to do so are moving to countries like Ghana and Kenya, Malawi and South Africa. South Africa The most popular destination in the continent, by far, South Africa is home to around 212,000 Brits. Botswana is considered the safest country in Africa. It is a peaceful nation ranked 33rd safest in the world according to the 2020 Global Peace Index (making it safer than living in Spain).


Botswana boasts a burgeoning economy, a lucrative diamond industry, and a reverence for nature that fosters a family-friendly environment. From the eco-lodges of the Okavango Delta to immersive camping in the ecosystem's core, one can observe some of the world's most unique wildlife coexisting peacefully just beyond the capital, Gaborone. Inquire with any of the 5,000 UK nationals residing in Botswana, and they will attest to the nation's safety, affordable cost of living, well-maintained roads, and its overall amiable and tranquil ambiance.

Europeans are eager to return to Africa due to its thriving economies, climate infrastructure, and food availability, which are crucial for human survival. The Western nations' prioritization of oil profits over global consequences influences their decision-making. Durban and Grahamstown in South Africa, as well as Lagos in Nigeria, are highly sought-after destinations for families with children in terms of living standards and family amenities.


Many diasporans are fed up with the passive and aggressive racism present in white supremacist systems, which is a significant reason for their decision to return to their homeland. The Western world is showing interest in African nations as a potential source of sustenance. Africa has the capacity to become a key player in global food networks, thereby alleviating pressure on global food security. It is crucial to prioritize the protection of African soil from Western fertilizers and GMO technology, which have had detrimental effects on farming in terms of nutrition. Implementing sustainable practices like natural fertilizers, hemp cultivation, biochar, atmospheric water generation, and other methods can greatly enhance yields, biodiversity, and help combat hunger, among other benefits!


Until the first half of the 20th century, it was uncommon for men, women, and children to traverse the South Mediterranean from North Africa aiming for Europe. Conversely, Italians, French, Spanish, and Greeks migrated to North Africa, escaping poverty and overpopulation back home. Nowadays, with the influx of refugees due to climate change and other factors into EU countries, member state policymakers are under pressure to respond swiftly. At a meeting in Valletta in 2015, leaders from several African countries agreed to establish a fund. However, this fund, known as the EU Emergency Trust Fund for Africa (EUTF), was not intended to assist in the integration of newcomers into the European Union. Rather, the EUTF aimed to "address the root causes of irregular migration" to reduce the number of Africans embarking on the perilous journey to Europe. Now, there is discontent among these European nations as Africans show reluctance towards them.
