In the coming decades, countries around the world will face
increasingly severe challenges related to global climate change.
While the details vary from country to country, the impacts will be
especially grave for marginalized people, whose access to food,
potable water, and safe shelter may be threatened due to
fluctuations in rainfall and temperature, and to extreme weather
events. Because weather extremes are the main way that climate
change manifests itself, water governance is a crucial aspect of
climate change resilience. Following an overview of the ways
climate change is affecting three cities in Africa, Water and
Climate Change in Africa: Challenges and Community Initiatives in
Durban, Maputo and Nairobi discusses the equity and climate justice
implications, and then gives examples of ways in which a range of
local community organizations are extending their current
activities to address these challenges through innovative new
programs and initiatives at the grassroots. This approach has
implications for communities worldwide; it is a process of building
on existing organizations' aptitudes and strengths in the light of
local knowledge of climate challenges, and creating partnerships to
build equity-enhancing new methods of protecting people's
subsistence. This book should be of interest to climate change
scholars, activists and policy-makers, as well as development
studies researchers and practitioners.
