The Impact of Climate Change on Sub-Sahara Africa

While global warming and its consequences on humanity are being fiercely debated at the global scale, deliberate and pragmatic reflections on the subject in Sub Sahara Africa remain muted. This book examines how global climate change impacts the area, the measures and strategies to face it and actions presently implemented in combating it.
