Chad

Chad is a historical crossroads between North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa, with a vast territory of 1,284,000 km2 and an estimated population of 16 million in 2020. The main land issues in this predominantly rural country are frequent droughts, advancing desert, expansion of agricultural land, uncontrolled urbanization, shrinking forest areas, land grabs by elites and oil exploitation. Chad suffers from both high vulnerability to climate change and limited capacity to adapt to it. These land and environmental vulnerabilities are amplified by the weakness of state institutions and high population growth.
