This week we speak to people in the greater Horn of Africa, experiencing the worst drought in 40 years. It's left 23 million people at risk of starvation and new research has found that it was 100 times more likely to have happened because of climate change.Presenter Sophie Eastaugh hears about a climate adaptation strategy pioneered by the Maasai people.

Food insecurity, conflict and perishing livestock are just a few elements of an ever-worsening crisis, with proactive planning difficult for governments with limited resources and other immediate problems. So what can be done to fight the worst effects of the ongoing crisis? Sophie is joined by:
Lanoi Meitiekene, a leader in the Maasai community

Yared Abera Deme, Research Analyst with the International Climate Action team, WRI Africa, Ethiopia. Email us: [email protected]: Sophie Eastaugh
