Millions brace for catastrophic effects as Lake Chad shrinks

As the COP26 talks enter their second day, climate change continues to bring devastation to communities all over the world. People living around Lake Chad are facing their worst environmental and humanitarian crisis in generations.
The UN has described the unfolding crisis - caused by the lake's water loss - as "catastrophic".
Millions of people who depend on the lake are in danger of losing their livelihoods.
And as Al Jazeera's Ahmed Idris reports - the rising poverty is pushing young people to join armed groups.

I just watched this video for my geography class, and it is very sad to see the anxiety and struggle of the faces of those who must deal with this adversity. I really hope things will change for Lake Chad and its people who depend on it. 🙏

This is very sad to see. Look at this from the bigger perspective, we have multiple large lakes going dry. Lake Chad, Lake Mead, Great Salt Lake, the Dead Sea..those aren’t just a few that ate drying up. Now look at the resources impacted by each of these systems..We have a very serious issue going on here and it’s global.

If they properly manage Lake Chad, they wouldn't be in this state.

We at Pure Water For All Foundation have been working on this problem for decades in over 50 countries. We have fantastic results.

No water management not climate change is the problem here.

Planting 2 - 3 million tress is not sufficient, It´s needed to plant 1 - 2 milliard trees do something .... help yourself and the Highest Meteorological entity will help you too ....

[corwinchelway]

Al Jazeera needs to specify between 'climate change' and 'global warming'... currently the video titles seem to use the terms interchangeably, and they don't mean the same thing....
