Climate change is caused by human and natural factors. Man's activities are agricultural practices involving the slash and burn methods of soil exploitation, bush fires, deforestation, and construction of infrastructures such as houses. These activities over the years have contributed to continuous degradation of the environment and the emission of CO2 in the atmosphere.

Climate change is caused by human and natural factors. Man's activities are agricultural practices involving the slash and burn methods of soil exploitation, bush fires, deforestation, and construction of infrastructures such as houses. These activities over the years have contributed to continuous degradation of the environment and the emission of CO2 in the atmosphere. These changes in climate have an impact on ecosystems, food security and are a challenge for societies especially those that depend on natural resources (IPCC, 2007). Climate change has impacts on livelihood, health and ecosystems. This is because rural communities have agriculture as their main economic base and when it fails due to drought, livelihood becomes unbearable (Sonwa et al, 2009; Agrawal and Perin, 2008). The African population is expected to be more vulnerable to climate change because of three factors. Experts predict that Africa will get warmer, due to the high dependency on natural resources and low degree of adaptation capacity to the environment (Dixon et al, 2003).
