The impact of climate change on Africa is likely to be severe because of adverse direct effects, high agricultural dependence, and limited capacity to adapt. Direct effects vary widely across the continent, with some areas (e.g. eastern Africa) predicted to get wetter, but much of southern Africa getting drier and hotter. Crop yields will be adversely affected and the frequency of extreme weather events will increase. Adaptation to climate change is primarily a private-sector response and...

This chapter examines the effects of climate change on Africa. At the root of climate change is global warming caused by anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases. The warming occurs worldwide and temperatures are rising on the African land mass and in the surrounding oceans. But Africa is distinctive in the combination of climate-change effects. First, there is evidence that Africa is warming faster than the global average and this is likely to continue....
