INFURIATING FACTS...
Things that happen elsewhere, but affect us
We live in a globalised world in which we are not just affected by global trading platforms, but also by any production and consumption behaviour that causes greenhouse gas emissions and loss of biodiversity. What we do affects others. This section highlights some of these impacts.
Climate change
Europe, as a major emitter of greenhouse gases, significantly contributes to climate change, which disproportionately affects African countries causing droughts and heatwaves, among other impacts. Research suggests that Europe’s emissions have influenced the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), a climate phenomenon affecting the Indian Ocean.
A positive IOD event has brought drought and heatwaves in Africa resulting in crop failure, livestock deaths, increased food prices and a lot of negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems.
Despite making minimal contributions to global emissions, African communities bear the brunt of environmental degradation, highlighting the need for international cooperation in climate mitigation efforts.
