As the globe continues to warm, these impacts will be more profoundly felt on the continent while communities, economies and policymakers struggle to adequately respond to the risks. In addition to this, the poor scientific understanding of Africa’s climate results in significant uncertainty over the future climate and inhibits adaptation. In order to safeguard the lives and livelihoods of the people of Africa, research and development programmes need to address knowledge gaps and support resilience building initiatives across Africa.
