Show Notes
African sea levels are rising faster than the global average, with a three-point-five-four millimeters per year increase compared to three-point-four-five globally. This acceleration is particularly noticeable in the western Indian Ocean near Mozambique and Madagascar, and the eastern central Atlantic off Senegal and Nigeria. The recent El Niño event exacerbated the situation, causing nearly thirty millimeters of rise across African waters in just two years. Over two hundred million people in Africas coastal nations face growing threats from flooding, erosion, and saltwater intrusion, disrupting fisheries and contaminating drinking water. To combat this, nations must reduce carbon emissions and implement defense measures like sea walls and mangrove restoration.
