	Africa.

[indent][indent][indent]Known as the [i]Cradle of Humanity[/i], the continent experienced centuries of colonialism and persisted through the violence. In recent decades, the viciousness of climate change struck the continent the hardest. Drier conditions and the lack of rainfall led to a catastrophic drought, negatively affecting food and water security. But it was our planet surpassing the tipping point that made the drought worst. The agricultural sector, in particular, was hit hard with damages and losses to its crops that led to economic loss to farmers. And with the food insecurity, food prices went up to record levels and left millions starving.

Water scarcity in Africa reached dangerously high levels a few weeks after the climate summit of 2028. It immediately triggered water crises in several cities throughout the continent. The first city to reach "Day Zero" (the day that the water level that supplied the city reached below a certain percentage) and officially ran out of water was Cape Town. The cause of the crisis was the failure of the government to prepare for the eventuality, which happened in the midst of an ongoing drought in the region. Months later, the crisis was contained with international assistance and aid; but, thousands died to dehydration and injuries sustained from stampedes that broke out during water distributions and protests that turned deadly.

Despite emitting the lowest levels of greenhouse gases, the continent is starting to crack under the pressure of climate change. The rising seas are also affecting West Africa and Madagascar primarily more than the rest of the continent. Cities, like Benin and Côte d’Ivoire, are already experiencing record flooding and landslides. And along with the droughts, the extremely vulnerable population on the continent is struggling to survive against the warming climate. Already millions have been displaced from their homes and more than half have fled the continent in search of something better.[/indent][/indent][/indent]
