AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoClimate & Health: A new University of Chicago Climate Impact Lab report warns this “Super El Niño” could add about 451,000 heat-related deaths worldwide between Sept 2026 and Feb 2027, with the Sahel hit hardest—about 8,000 extra deaths projected in Chad (and 31,400 in Nigeria, 17,500 in Sudan, 10,000 in Niger). Energy Access: Afrobarometer data shows fewer than half of Africans get reliable electricity; Chad is among the lowest, with only about 3% reporting power that works most or all of the time, pushing many households toward alternatives like solar. Security & Trade: Insecurity is choking the Cameroon–Chad–Nigeria trade corridor, as kidnappings and attacks surge along the Maroua–Kousséri–N’Djamena route, threatening freight and everyday commerce. Regional Politics: A conference in Abidjan highlights how coups across West Africa—including in Chad—have deepened democratic recession and strained ECOWAS’s ability to manage peace and security. Tech & Global Agenda: A weekly international roundup flags how conflicts, energy shocks, climate risks, and artificial intelligence are increasingly tied together on the road to the UN General Assembly.
