1. Introduction
Metrics
Climate change, also known as global warming, is the change or shift in both weather and climate patterns of the
world. This is caused by greenhouse gases that are emitted by either natural sources such as volcanoes and

wildfires or human activities such as burning fossil fuels [1]. Climate change has become a general concern that
requires an urgent response and needs to be addressed. It has numerous causes, with carbon emissions

constituting a significant percentage of these factors. The emission of carbon, particularly in the form of carbon
dioxide, is the main contributor to climate change through the greenhouse effect - the trapping of heat from the sun
in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming [2]. The effects and impact of global warming and climate
change have been mostly negative rather than positive, spreading across various sectors, locations, and areas.

The following have been adversely affected by climate change: crops affected by rising heat and global warmth,
rising sea levels displacing people, increased need for energy for cooling and cooking, infectious diseases,
extinction of some species, etc. In summary, climate change has adversely affected economies, renewable energy
supplies, soil and seas, land use, and the psychology of both children and adults. This depicts that climate change
continues to be a global concern, as it is evident from shifting weather patterns to affecting social and economic
lifestyles [3]. Amazingly, Africa is a low contributor to greenhouse gases. Unfortunately, it is currently witnessing
serious issues such as diseases [4], droughts [5], flash floods, hurricanes and forest fires, and locust outbreaks [6]
and with the poverty in Africa, it is rest assured that it is terrible.
