Environmetal hazards according to Africa Union secretary include drought,floods, poverty, displacement of people.
According to studies 1.5 Litres of hydrocarbons including petrol and parafine produces 1 kg of carbon dioxide. That is why Carbon dioxide is the major green house gas, it's now 410 ppm in the air.

Tiny climate gains, major development losses

Focusing on limiting the emissions of the world’s poorest countries while emissions continue to rise in industrialized countries is clearly misdirected in our view. Given stark inequalities in energy use and emissions, this could instead entrench poverty and widen inequality induced by worsening climate change, while simultaneously accomplishing very little to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.

Together, the U.S., U.K., European Union, Japan and Russia have almost the same population – 1.1 billion people – as sub-Saharan Africa, but 35 times more gas-fired power plants in operation or under development, and 52 times more coal plants.

When it comes to carbon dioxide emissions, sub-Saharan Africa is collectively responsible for barely half a percent of all global emissions over time, while the U.S., U.K., E.U., Japan and Russia are responsible for more than 100 times that amount, or about 57%.
