Commentary on Cases of Climate Change Adaptation in Africa

This chapter has brought together an useful mixture of case studies of experiences and lessons learned on a variety of aspects of climate change adaptation in the diverse African countries including Algeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, the Kingdom of Lesotho, Malawi, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Tunisia, and Zambia.
