A Study of the Relationship Between Climate Change and the Entrapment of Societies in Poverty: Evidence from the African Continent (An Analytical Study)

This research essay analyzes the relationship between climate change and poverty in Africa. It examines the current and projected climate conditions across the continent and identifies both direct and indirect mechanisms through which climate change drives people into poverty. The study explores how blue carbon habitats, coastal and marine ecosystems that store carbon, might serve as a mitigation strategy for climate change effects generally and in Africa specifically. The findings demonstrate a strong causal relationship between these phenomena, though the summary provided does not detail the complete conclusions.
