Beyond Agricultural Impacts: Multiple Perspectives on Climate Change in Africa presents the theories and methods commonly applied in climate change assessment from various locations in Africa, also inspiring further research that addresses the broad spectrum of societal impacts that result from altered climate status. Using case studies, the work provides insights into climate change impacts and adaptation with a lens on vulnerable groups in African agriculture, e.g. smallholder crop and livestock farmers, women and youth. The book also highlights areas of further interest in climate change…mehr
Beyond Agricultural Impacts: Multiple Perspectives on Climate Change in Africa presents the theories and methods commonly applied in climate change assessment from various locations in Africa, also inspiring further research that addresses the broad spectrum of societal impacts that result from altered climate status. Using case studies, the work provides insights into climate change impacts and adaptation with a lens on vulnerable groups in African agriculture, e.g. smallholder crop and livestock farmers, women and youth. The book also highlights areas of further interest in climate change and agriculture research in Africa, all done through views from multiple disciplines in the agriculture and climate change nexus.
Nkulumo Zinyengere is project manager and research lead with the Climate Development Knowledge Network (Africa). He holds a PhD in Environmental Science from the University of Cape Town, a B Sc. (hons) in Geography and M Sc. in Agricultural Meteorology (University of Zimbabwe). His research work has largely centered on climate change impacts and adaptation in various sectors in Africa. His interests are broadly on the intersection of climate, poverty and development in the African context. He has experience in applied climate science research and policy analysis and has been recognized as a future leader in sustainable development research through the German Ministry of Education and Research's (BMBF) green talents awards. He is also an awardee of the African Climate Change Fellowship Programme (ACCFP).
