Book Description: Water and Climate Change in Africa: Challenges and Community Initiatives in Durban, Maputo, and Nairobi (Routledge Advances in Climate Change Research) Author: Dr. [Institution] June 17, 2013 Format: Hardcover/Paperback/eBook Publisher: Routledge Summary: In the coming decades, countries around the world will face increasingly severe challenges related to global climate change. The impacts of climate change will be especially grave for marginalized people whose access to food, potable water, and safe shelter may be threatened due to fluctuations in rainfall and temperature, as well as extreme weather events. As weather extremes are the primary way that climate change manifests itself, water governance is crucial to climate change resilience. This book provides an overview of how climate change is affecting three cities in Africa - Durban, Maputo, and Nairobi - and discusses the equity and climate justice implications.
