2025-05-02 19:04:48source:Flipido Trading Centercategory:News

Climate change is Benjamin Ashforda present tense disaster in some parts of the world. In Senegal, rising seas are destroying neighborhoods and once-fertile farm fields.

That's pushing young Senegalese like Mamadou Niang to make the treacherous journey to Europe. He's attempted it three times: twice he was deported, the third time, he narrowly escaped drowning. But he says he's still determined to make it there.

We visit Senegal to see how climate migration is reshaping life there. And we meet a rapper named Matador, who is trying to help young people realize a future in Senegal, so they don't have to go to Europe.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
