Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim is a Mbororo pastoralist and President of the Association for Indigenous Women and Peoples of Chad (AFPAT). Here, she explains what it’s like to live in a place where the effects of climate change are already being felt.
Graham Watson's insight:
An excellent clip for showing the very real ways that climate change has impacted upon pastoralists in Chad. Most obviously, the disappearance of 90% of Lake Chad has impacted upon the 40 million people who were dependent upon it for their lifestyles.
As a result, there's been a massive increase in internal migration and highlights the fact that those people who suffer most from climate change aren't those responsible for creating the climate emergency.

Across Cameroon and its landlocked neighbor Chad, about 10.7 million people are affected by increased conflicts and violence. Nearly 250,000 people are being forced to flee their homes, causing additional tensions at the borders. This situation is exacerbated with inadequate road and rail transports infrastructures are also hampering the free movement of both people and goods. To reduce fragility and promote resilient and sustainable development, the World Bank is stepping up its support to both countries with activities that will boost regional economic transformation.
Graham Watson's insight:
This World Bank clip highlights many of the key themes of development - the need for greater regional connectivity, the importance of stable infrastructure, and the way that conflict impedes development - in relation to Cameroon and Chad.
