Using science to improve adaptation in Africa

Climate change is expected to intensify existing problems and create new combinations of risk with potentially grave consequences for Africa where a direct dependence on the natural environment, a lack of infrastructure and high levels of poverty creates vulnerability to environmental change.

This policy brief is based on the findings and recommendations of the report Climate Change and Adaptation in African Agriculture (2008), prepared by Ziervogel, G, Cartwright, A., Tas, A., Adejuwon, J., Zermoglio, F., Shale, M. and Smith, B., and supported by the Rockefeller Foundation.
