The book outlines the likely effects of climatic change on African ecosystems and economies and identifies policy and practical measures that can be adopted by governments, firms, non-governmental agencies, international bodies and individuals to deal with the problem. It stresses the need for political commitment to economic strategies which take into account long-term ecological considerations. It argues that the measures needed to cope with long-term climatic challenges are the same ones required to deal with short-term economic and ecological problems.
