Climate Change Adaptation in Africa (CCAA) Aims to improve the capacity of African countries to adapt to climate change in ways that benefit the most vulnerable. Building on existing initiatives and past experience, the CCAA program works to establish a self-sustained skilled body of expertise in Africa to enhance the ability of African countries to adapt.

Climate Change and Africa Africa is particularly vulnerable to climate change. Any significant increase in mean global temperatures of the scale outlined in the Third Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change could result in significant changes in precipitation, evaporation and hydrology, sea-level rise, and changes in the occurrence of extreme weather events (floods, droughts, storms) that would impact on primary production, ecological systems, public health and poverty.

The Help Kenya Project Welcome to the Help Kenya Project. We collect donations of used computers, books, clothing, sports equipment, and other supplies and ship them to Kenyan schools and libraries. In return, we ask that the recipients plant trees to combat deforestation and provide children with a place to rest and play out of the sun.

Malaria risk and temperature: Influences from global climate change and local land use practices Those who argue that we need not worry about small shifts in temperature should pause after considering the findings of Pascual et al. (2) that a mere half-degree centigrade increase in temperature trend can translate into a 30–100% increase in mosquito abundance, in other words “biological amplification” of temperature effects.

Climate Change: Likely Impacts on African Crops, Livestock & Farm Types Before policymakers can respond appropriately to climate change, they need to be able to reliably gauge the varying impacts of a warming planet in various locations. New research supported by the World Bank has quantified for the first time how climate change might affect net farm revenue from both crops and livestock across 16 agro-ecological zones in Africa.

Climate change in Ghana has become a threat to livelihoods Climate change in Ghana has become a threat to livelihoods. Drought and over flooding in parts of the Northern Region of Ghana has become a yearly worry to the people and government. People along the banks of the Volta river are constantly displaced, homeless and landless. In the South particularly aquatic life is affected as a result of human activities and sea level rise that pollutes water bodies and the main economic activity which is fishing drops and this has affected the income levels of the people.

Sahara desert becoming green due to climate change Scientists are now seeing signals that the Sahara desert and surrounding regions are greening due to increasing rainfall. If sustained, these rains could revitalize drought-ravaged regions, reclaiming them for farming communities.

AFRICA: Climate Change 'is a Security Issue' Africa is the canary in the mine of global security, as climate change threatens to redraw the maps of the continent and the world. A shift in global climate will reshape coastlines, alter disease prevalence, change where rain falls, and alter where people can find water, grow food and live, says Oli Brown, of the International Institute for Sustainable Development’s (IISD). This could force communities and nations into conflict as they struggle to access resources or are forced into "distressed" migration.
