| Zusammenfassung: | At the beginning of the twenty-first century, no environmental issue is of such truly global magnitude as the issue of climate change. The poorer, developing countries are the least equipped to adapt to the potential effects of climate change, although most of them have played an insignificant role in causing it. African countries are amongst the poorest of the developing countries. This book presents the issues of most relevance to Africa, such as past and present climate, desertification, biomass burning and its implications for atmospheric chemistry and climate, energy generation, sea-level rise, ENSO-induced drought and flood, adaptation, disaster risk reduction, the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol (especially the Clean Development Mechanism), capacity-building, and sustainable development. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of these and many other issues, with chapters by the leading experts from a range of disciplines. Climate Change and Africa will prove to be an invaluable reference for all researchers and policy makers with an interest in climate change and Africa |

The poorer, developing countries are the least equipped to adapt to the potential effects of climate change, although most of them have played an insignificant role in causing it.

This book presents the issues of most relevance to Africa, such as past and present climate, desertification, biomass burning and its implications for atmospheric chemistry and climate, energy generation, sea-level rise, ENSO-induced drought and flood, adaptation, disaster risk reduction, the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol (especially the Clean Development Mechanism), capacity-building, and sustainable development. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of these and many other issues, with chapters by the leading experts from a range of disciplines. Climate Change and Africa will prove to be an invaluable reference for all researchers and policy makers with an interest in climate change and Africa Climatic changes / Africa Klimaänderung (DE-588)4164199-1 gnd rswk-swf Afrika (DE-588)4000695-5 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4143413-4 Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content Afrika (DE-588)4000695-5 g Klimaänderung (DE-588)4164199-1 s DE-604 Low, Pak Sum Sonstige oth Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 9780521029957 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 9780521836340 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511535864 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
