The North African region is one of the most climate change vulnerable areas in the world; as a result of the global climate change, it has been suffering from severe environmental, economic and social challenges. The regional prominence of these extreme climate change related problems worsening the security situation of the region before impinging on it – most notably water scarcity, desertification, decline in agricultural output, and food insecurity – is the area of focus of this research. This research explores a challenging context to respond to at the national and regional scale, hereby focusing on the policy level, such as the Agenda 2063 of the African Union, Africa Climate Initiatives of the UNEP and the Climate and Health Strategic Framework 2025 of the Africa CDC.
