Article Synopsis
- The northern zone of Cameroon is highly vulnerable to climate change, particularly affecting its agriculture, with limited studies on local climate impacts.
- From 1973 to 2020, researchers analyzed precipitation data from three major cities—Ngaoundere, Garoua, and Maroua—using various statistical methods to assess changes and trends.
- Significant increases in rainfall were found in Ngaoundere (29.6%) and Garoua (36.2%), suggesting improvements for agriculture, while Maroua experienced stable but decreasing rainfall, raising concerns about food security and the need for a climate warning system.
