Impacts of climate change on Africa

DESERTIFICATION

Annotate your large map of Africa to illustrate the imapcts of climate change faced on this continent.

 

Your notes should cover the following:

Water issues

Food insecurity

Natrual resources

Health

Development of coastal zones

Desertification

Poverty

 

Use your imagination to present this well.

 

Your own textbook has some information on p55 and the smaller Contemporary Case Study book also has a section on p32. There are some other good online sources.

 

The BBC has articles which would be a good starting point. The WWF has written two very good papers on the impacts in East Africa. The Stern Report into climate change also had a chapter referencing the impacts of climate change on Africa. It is very long - but try just reading the Executive Summary.
