Africa - Up in Smoke?
Copies of the Original 2005 Report and the 2006 Update Report from the Working Group on Climate Change and Development. This Report finds that concerns about the effects of climate change on rural African societies are more than justified. Climate change is happening, and it is affecting livelihoods that depend on the natural environment, which, in Africa, means nearly everyone. However, even without adequate support, far from being passive victims, people recognise even small changes in climate, and are taking steps to respond to them.
