Millions of Africans could be uprooted or trapped where they are through climate-induced displacement and migration.
Hundreds of Africa’s heritage sites are exposed to sea-level rise and coastal erosion in the future.
Education, historical trends in precipitation, and perceived drought experiences predict increased climate change literacy, but rates are lower for women, those in rural areas, and low-income groups.
A holistic view of climate change risk considers climate hazards, exposure, vulnerability and the responses to these. It also takes into account how multiple risks interact.
