These studies suggest Lake Chad is vulnerable to climate change due to persistent droughts, decreased rainfall, increased irrigation withdrawals, unique bathymetry, and compounded effects of global warming, leading to significant ecological, social, and economic impacts.
Lake Chad, once one of the largest lakes in the world, has experienced significant shrinkage over the past few decades. This reduction in size has been attributed to a combination of climate change, human activities, and natural variability. Understanding the factors contributing to Lake Chad's vulnerability to climate change is crucial for developing effective mitigation and adaptation strategies.

Lake Chad's vulnerability to climate change is driven by a combination of decreased rainfall, increased temperatures, and human activities such as irrigation withdrawals and unregulated exploitation. The lake's unique bathymetry further exacerbates its susceptibility to water loss. These factors, combined with socio-economic challenges and resource conflicts, have created a complex and multifaceted vulnerability that requires coordinated interventions to address effectively.
