Climate change is a major challenge for us all, but for African
countries it represents a particular threat. This book outlines
current thinking and evidence and the impact such change will have
on Africa's development prospects. Global warming above the level
of two degrees Celsius would be enormously damaging for poorer
parts of the world, leading to crises with crops, livestock, water
supplies and coastal areas. Within Africa, it's likely to be the
continent's poorest people who are hit hardest. In this accessible
and authoritative introduction to an often-overlooked aspect of the
environment, Camilla Toulmin uses case studies to look at issues
ranging from natural disasters to biofuels, and from conflict to
the oil industry. Finally, the book addresses what future there
might be for Africa in a carbon-constrained world.
