Analysing Drug Trafficking in East Africa: A Media-monitoring Approach

Recommended research   published by Ciara Aucoin, ENACT on June 30, 2018

African countries are among the world’s most vulnerable to and least prepared for climate change.

Rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns have devastated African countries that depend on agriculture. Only about 3 in 10 Africans are fully “climate change literate,” combining awareness of climate change with basic knowledge about its causes and negative effects.
