Mozambique’s Climate Crisis

Abstract

Nowhere in the world is safe from the effects of extreme weather behaviour and climate change. Mozambique is a startling example of these extremes, where one part of the country is facing drought, while the other is suffering devastating floods. Susan Schulman reports on the wide-reaching impact on the population of Mozambique, from the direct effects on crops and housing to the indirect, including an increase in conflict and extremist activity in areas hardest hit by water insecurity.■
