Climate change is posing a growing threat to public health and community social cohesion, with rising sea levels and increased frequency of floods and droughts. This threatens vulnerable populations, including those with mental health issues and chronic illnesses, and undermines development gains by affecting livelihoods, resource management, health, productivity, food insecurity, conflicts, poverty, internal displacement, and refugee crises. The relationship between climate change and health is complex and sometimes indirect.

The African community for climate change (ACCRCC) intends to integrate mental health, conflict resolution, population, health, and nutritional management into strategic planning and policy formulation to reduce the burden of sustainable. As a pan African entity, ACCRCC aims to advocate for the inclusion of mental health, conflict resolution, population, health, and nutritional management in strategic planning and policy formulation that address the impact of climate change in order to contribute to the region’s burden reduction for sustainable development. Goal the ACCRCC’S main goal is to build community resilience to climate change.
