2023: A year of climate extremes and natural disasters in North Africa...what next?

Weather of Arabia - The North African region witnessed radical climate changes during the year 2023, as Morocco witnessed a devastating earthquake that resulted in the loss of the lives of about three thousand people. Libya was not safe, as a hurricane struck the city of Derna in the east of the country, causing the death of thousands of residents, making it considered the worst natural disaster to strike Libya.

In a related context, Tunisia and Algeria witnessed a drought that continued for the sixth year in a row, as forest fires broke out and crops were destroyed due to temperatures rising to record levels.

These events and natural disasters have raised serious concerns about the effects of climate change in North Africa, especially in the absence of any joint coordination between affected countries to address these challenges.
