Climate Change Crisis in West Africa

Climate Change Crisis in West Africa: Sub-Regional Political Dynamics, Adaptation Strategies, and the Quest for Resilience explores the urgent and layered challenges posed by climate change across the West African sub-region. Drawing on interdisciplinary research, policy analysis, and lived experiences, the book examines how environmental shocks intersect with political governance, regional cooperation, and socio-economic vulnerabilities.From drought-stricken farmlands to shifting migration patterns and contested adaptation efforts, the authors unpack the complex interplay between climate impacts and sub-regional political dynamics. Through critical engagement with livelihood theory, vulnerability frameworks, and political ecology, this work highlights both institutional limitations and community-driven innovations shaping the region's path toward resilience.This book offers a vital resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners seeking context-rich insights and actionable solutions for a climate-resilient West Africa.
