Climate change represents one of the most serious and far-reaching challenges facing humankind in the twenty-first Century. North Africa is vulnerable to climate change impacts. Scenarios predict an average rise in annual temperatures, higher than the average expected for the planet. The present study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis to the historical and the projected future climate change in North Africa, study the projected extreme climate events, and the impact of climate change on drought in North Africa. The results indicated that the heat indices would then be more numerous, longer and more intense. Also, its marked to North Africa would be particularly affected by droughts that would be more frequent, more intense and longer-lasting
