Climate change in Mozambique

A detaled study of effects of climate change on Nozambique has confirmed what many experts
feared: that , unless immediate action is taken, the country will be overwhelmed by the impacts
of cyclones, floods, droughts and disease outbeaks.

Mozambique, already more frequently and severely affedted by natural dissaters than
virtually any other country ib Africa, would have to adapt to a changing reality.

Overwhelming changes to come

The exposure to natural disaster risk in Mozambique will increase significantly over the coming
20 years and beyond, the report noted. Temperatures in Mozambique could rise by as much as
2 to 2.5°C by 2050, and by 5 to 6°C by 2090.

 Rainfall variability would increase, the start of the rainy season would likely shift, flood risk
would be higher, and the centre of the country would suffer more intense cyclones and
droughts.

"Up to approximantely 2030, more sever cyclones will pose the biggest theat to the coast.
Beyond 2030, the accelerating rise of the sea level will present the greatest danger," the report
saud.

Erosion could push the 2,700 km of coastline inland by around 500 metres. With around 12
milion people-60 percent of the population-living in coastal areas, this was "a scenario likely to
be catastrophic for Mozambique."

"Warnee temperatures may extend the range and prolong the seasonality of transmission
of vector-borne duseases, especially malaria," the report noted.

Less rainfall upstream in Zimbabwe and zambia could translate into significantly decreased
river flows in Mozambique,while lower raibfall in Zambia River Basin could severely recuce
energy ourput from the Cahora Bassa dam, a crucial power source for the country and the
region.

The economy

The global economic landscape hás undergone profound chances sincethe and of the cold
war. After the global financial crisis, the word economy entre a "new normal," and there are
mounthing challenger that nerd to be manager. Unfortunately, the global govermance system
has not kept pace with the scale and complexity of these challenger.

Technology in 2025

Hás the pose to do many thing, and changing the word in onde of them.

We're privileged to be living in a time where science and technology can assist US, mah our
lives easier and rethink the ways we go about ouro daily lives.

The techonogy we're already exposed and aceustonedto has paved the way for us to
innovate further, and this list of current and future technologies certainly have the potential to
change our live everone.
