Only One African Country Might Survive Climate Change

Researchers at the University of Notre Dame attempted to determine which nations were best equipped to survive climate change. The least ranked countries are developing countries. These countries do not have the capacity to deal with climate change. From all indications, their crop yields will fall, water access will decline, and the countries also lack the technology, political economy, and resources to buffer the incoming bouts of extreme weather-filled years. Chad is currently projected to fare the worst, as drought and heat sap its land-locked breadbaskets. Surprisingly, oil-rich Norway, takes the top spot, despite having miles and miles of vulnerable coastline while Botswana is the only African country that might survive climate change. –Ventures Africa/
