The report illustrates how, since the 2019 edition of this report, rising trends in global resource use have continued or accelerated. The report also shows how demand for resources is expected to continue increasing in the coming decades.

This book aims to present an analysis of several crisis issues induced by global climate change and their implications at the micro-level, particularly from the perspective of a ground-based study.

Situated on the frontline of climate change and desertification, the Sahel is one of the regions most affected by extreme heat, land degradation and disrupted weather patterns.
