Deadly landslides in Tanzania underscore the increasing human cost of extreme weather.

In southern Tanzania, heavy rains triggered landslides that killed at least 20 people, with more at risk as rainfall continues.

Authorities have issued evacuation warnings in high-risk areas, as communities face growing vulnerability.

This is not an isolated incident.

Across East Africa, climate shocks, from floods to landslides are becoming more frequent and more severe. The cost is no longer just environmental, it’s human, economic, and systemic.

The message is clear:
climate resilience is no longer optional it’s urgent.
