It is widely acknowledged that, in addition to global and regional efforts tocope with climate change by means of mitigation measures, adaptation initiatives can and perhaps should play a key role in enabling communities from acrossAfrica to better handle the problems related to it. Due to the fact that experiences in climate change adaptation in Africa are poorly documented, this book provides an attempt to address the perceived need for better documentation and dissemination of African experiences on climate change adaptation. Containshigh level papers on climate change in Africa, which have been peer-reviewed,discussed at a specialist conference, hence being very authoritative. Is veryinternational and entails contributions from many parts of Africa, offering aunique collection of scientific data, real experiences and concrete case studies. Describes projects and other practical initiatives, being undertaken on the ground and which may be replicable elsewhere.
