The coup in Niger is just the latest, and probably not the last. Across the Sahel, African nations are falling to military dictatorships.
Are these incidents separate crises, or part of something larger? The fact that few are acknowledging is that Niger's coup, like those in neighbouring countries, is a "climate coup"—a crisis born of climate impacts largely ignored by the international community.
And while Western academics in their ivory towers disagree over whether Sahel conflicts are due to climate change, we on the ground know the facts.
In two decades, Niger has suffered nine droughts and five floods, destroying its rural heartlands. Water shortages trigger a food crisis every four years. As a recent International Monetary Fund study revealed, decades of climate change in Niger are behind food shocks driving devastating levels of rural poverty.
Ultimately, the escalating crisis in Niger is living, terrifying proof that these issues—development finance, climate mitigation, national security—are not separate. Whatever its flaws, this year's COP is an opportunity to completely rethink the current approach.
Only a total paradigm shift in climate financing, rooted in a holistic approach to climate security, can unlock the funds Africa so desperately needs—not just to protect millions of vulnerable people, but for a future of resilience and sustainability for the Sahel people.

Is there anything, anything at all that climate change can’t do?
there is one thing climate change can’t do...it can’t fill that huge hole in the brain of the typical climate activist. the hierarchy are evil people seeking worldwide control of every one and every thing. their followers are mindless sheep and if their masters tell them to jump over a cliff, they will. climate change can’t fix insanity.
Climate change or population growth?
“In two decades, Niger has suffered nine droughts and five floods, destroying its rural heartlands.”
Over the past 1000 years how many droughts and floods has Niger had. Is it possible to build water storage facilities and build dikes etc to reduce the impact of floods?
Actually, this guy is a Global8st stooge sell8ng out his people.
Globalists want to kill your fellow Africans, and you are selling them out to death you demon!
Jihadists don’t need changes in the weather. Western Europe barely survived its numerous invasions from Muslim countries. Their scale far outpaced the crusades with their limited objective of retaking Jerusalem.
Yup. Lefty rhetoric usually has that at its core.
Studies show the way to remedy climate change is a boot stamping on a human face forever.
