The Impact

This study evaluates the impact of climate variability on wildfire regime in the N’Zi River Watershed (NRW) in central Côte d’Ivoire. For that purpose, MODIS active fire and monthly burned area data are used to evaluate wildfire occurrence, impacts and trends. Wildfire data are compared to past trends of different climatic parameters extracted from long-term meteorological records. Generalized additive models and Spearman correlations are used to evaluate the relationships between climate variables and wildfire occurrence. Seasonal Kendall and Sen’s slope methods were used for trend analysis. Results showed that from 2001 to 2016, 19,156 wildfire occurrences are recorded in the NRW, of which 4443 wildfire events are observed in forest, 9536 in pre-forest, and 5177 in Sudanian zones. The burned areas are evaluated at 71,979.7 km2, of which 10,488.41 km2 were registered in forest, 33,211.96 km2 in pre-forest, and 28,279.33 km2 in Sudanian zones. A downward trend is observed in fire records. The results indicates a strong correlation between some climatic variables and wildfire regime in this ecoregion. These correlations can be used to develop models that could be used as prediction tools for better management of fire regimes and support decision-making in the NRW.

The Relationship

The present study evaluates the impact of climate variability on water resources and population health in the coastal area of Cote d’Ivoire between Abidjan and Aboisso. First, hydroclimatic methods (Nicholson index) and statistical tests (Pettitt test, Hubert segmentation) were used for variability characterisation. Then, Thornthwaite Water balance method was used to evaluate water availability for aquifers recharge. Coefficient depletion method was also used to assess the impact of climate variability on surface water resources. The relationship between diseases occurence (AhigbeKoffikro and Samo) and rainfall pattern was evaluated through descriptive method. The results revealed important fluctuations of water resources levels at that time. The relationship rainfall-runoff showed with synchron trend that rivers flows regime was linked to rainfall. The impact on groundwater resources was explained by deficit of infiltrated water of about 35.49% and 22.61% after 1982 break at Abidjan airport and Bingerville stations respectively. Concerning health, 63% of malaria cases was observed against 2.85% for diarrhoea and 2.35% for helminthiasis. There was a strong relationship between rainfall and the diseases (malaria and diarrhoea).

Lack Of Information

Climate change which is considered as a threat to biodiversity, causes paradoxical situations everywhere it manifests itself. These include, among others, drought and desertification; floods and storms; sea level rise, reduction of the vegetation cover; water supply sources and, animal and plant species disappearance. In Korhogo, in the North of Côte d’Ivoire, the climate variability and environmental change phenomena are perceived and described by the population. A qualitative approach with historical and comparative analysis tools are used in this study to focus on the perceptions of the populations through indicators of both climate variability and environmental changes. It also analyses the major challenges the population will face, which are mainly related to alteration in farming practices and seasons, loss of production, and extension of the lean period, the risk of food insecurity and conflicts related to the exploitation and the distribution of water resources; and mostly, to the lack of information- educationcommunication on the phenomenon. On the whole, although the study brings out an awareness about climate variability and environmental changes, it especially show the need for emergent multidimensional actions for effective response strategies to the changes observed in the area.
