How Does Climate change threatens livelihoods in Africa | DW News Work?

Climate change is making it harder for people in Africa to earn a living, like when your favorite ice cream melts on a hot day and you can’t enjoy it anymore.

Imagine you live in a village where your family grows crops, just like how you plant seeds in a pot at home. But now, the weather has become unpredictable, sometimes there’s too much rain, and other times there's not enough. This is like when you water your plants too much and they drown, or forget to water them and they wither away.

In Africa, many people depend on farming for their food and money. If the crops don’t grow well because of extreme weather, it’s harder for families to feed themselves or sell extra at the market.

Also, some places are getting hotter, like when you leave your bike in the sun and it feels like it's burning your hands. This heat can make it harder for people to work outside all day, just like how you might feel tired after playing too long in the hot sun.

So, climate change is like a fussy neighbor who keeps changing the weather, making it harder for African families to grow food and earn money.
