Description
Summary:Increased weather variability as well as frequency and intensity of extreme shocks are expected to disrupt agriculture-based livelihoods. As the scientific community develops more accurate climate model simulations, analyses, and methods, new alarming trends in global warming emerge. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the surface temperature in Africa has risen at a faster pace than the global average, leading to an increasing frequency and severity of heat waves throughout the 21st century. The African continent is expected to face more severe climate change conditions than other parts of the world.
