Addressing climate change in sub-Saharan Africa

Posted on

Droughts, floods, rising sea levels, extreme events: these are just some of the environmental impacts of climate change on sub-Saharan Africa. They may have serious consequences for many economic and development sectors, while threatening the economies and livelihoods of many African countries. This situation is exacerbated by low levels of development, limited adaptive capacity and widespread poverty across the continent.
A recent study illustrates the African regions that are the most severely struck by climate change impacts while investigating implications for adaptation and development. In this conversation with Laura Caciagli, Christoph Müller, co-author of the study cited and researcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), explains the main topics of the African vulnerabilities to the changing climate.
