Climate Risks and Livelihoods Adaptation in the SubAfrica: A Review

Abstract

Climate change impacts all human systems including livelihoods of all
regions of the world. The livelihoods activities of the sub-Sahara Africa in
particular are already affected because of the fact that the region is highly
dependent on natural resources, most of which are climate sensitive. This
paper reviews attributes of livelihoods impacts of climate risks and provides
highlights of adaptation strategies and monitoring tools that are available
within the region.
