Climate plays a central role in agriculture which is the main stay of the Rwandan economy and community livelihood. However, due to anthropological activities, climate change is becoming a reality. Climate-related events like heavy rainfall or too little rainfall are becoming more frequent and are impacting on human wellbeing. These culminate into disasters like torrential rains drought, torrential rains, floods, landslides, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and epidemics.  Prediction and early warning information and products are vital to the management, risk reduction and mitigation of disasters. Awareness-raising is important so that people know how to reduce risk and harm caused by the various disasters or other precautionary and mitigation measures. The Rwanda Meteorological Service does not have enough capacity to deliver sufficient data, information and advisories due to the lack of sufficient qualified personnel, inadequate observing station network and sufficient data processing equipment. The government is working on programmes to enable adaptation to some of the impacts of climate change. At the same time it has set up mechanisms to reduce vulnerability to disasters. It should soon be in position to monitor and issue forecasts well in advance for adequate preparation and handling of disasters. In order to improve on prediction and early detection of extreme meteorological and hydrological events, and of climate variability and change, proper understanding of the processes that control global weather and climate systems is required. These processes include weather prediction research at all time scales, modelling and downscaling capacity, especially the potential to improve the prediction of climate variability or change at local level to be factored into disaster management and disaster risk reduction. 

Simplest answer to understand

these lead to deforestation which in turn lead to landslides
