Résumé
Climate change is one of the important problems faced today as climatic changes arising over time as a result of natural changes or human activities. Climate change has negative effects in many areas such as agricultural sector, water resources, forests, biodiversity, air pollution, health, coastal management. Melting in glaciers causes sea water levels to rise, while rising waters make living conditions quite difficult. In the study, the possible effects of climate changes on the world and especially on East Africa were examined. Climate change is affecting East Africa in terms of temperature increase, decrease in yield in agricultural products, water shortages, drought and desertification related problems. Considering the global emission amounts related that cause climate change, the contribution of the region to emission rates remains at very limited levels. In this case, it raises issues related to the fairness dimension of the event. Considering the mitigation and adaptation policies aimed at combating climate change, East Africa has a serious renewable energy potential. In this context, it is essential for East Africa to benefit from renewable energy sources. However, the provision of the necessary technological and financial support to these countries during the transition to renewable energy should be considered as part of the justice dimension of the condition.
