Abstract

The Climate Change Adaptation in Africa (CCAA) program has supported applied research to inform adaptation policies and practices that can reduce the climate vulnerabilities of African societies. A key challenge has been for researchers to anticipate the future impacts of a changing climate, and the consequences for societies that are also affected by demographic, economic, and technological changes.
