African environmental problems are problems caused by the direct and indirect human impacts on the natural environment and affect humans and nearly all forms of life in Africa. Issues include deforestation, soil degradation, air pollution, water pollution, coastal erosion, garbage pollution, climate change, Oil spills, Biodiversity loss, and water scarcity (resulting in problems with access to safe water supply and sanitation).[1] These issues result in environmental conflict and are connected to broader social struggles for democracy and sovereignty.[2] The scarcity of climate adaptation techniques in Africa makes it the least resilient continent to climate change.
