Routledge Adaptation to Climate Change in Southern Africa Book

Adverse climate impacts are already affecting Southern Africa, creating serious threats to the development prospects of societies throughout the region. This book, part of the Climate and Development Series by Routledge, examines how sustainable development depends on the rapid creation and implementation of effective adaptation measures. This volume identifies the new socioeconomic and political boundaries to development caused by ongoing climate change. Through a collection of papers, the text explores how the region can transition to new development strategies. These strategies aim to combine meaningful socioeconomic investment with necessary adaptation measures to protect the future of Southern African societies.
