Compared to many other regions of the world, Africa is particularly
vulnerable to the effects of climate change and variability.
Widespread poverty, an extensive disease burden and pockets of
political instability across the continent has resulted in a low
resilience and limited adaptative capacity of African society to
climate related shocks and stresses. To compound this
vulnerability, there remains large knowledge gaps on African
climate, manifestations of future climate change and variability
for the region and the associated problems of climate change
impacts. Research on the subject of African climate change requires
an interdisciplinary approach linking studies of environmental,
political and socio-economic spheres. In this book we use different
case studies on climate change and variability in Africa to
illustrate different approaches to the study of climate change in
Africa from across the spectrum of physical, social and political
sciences. In doing so we attempt to highlight a toolbox of
methodologies (along with their limitations and advantages) that
may be used to further the understanding of the impacts of climate
change in Africa and thus help form the basis for strategies to
negate the negative implications of climate change on society.
