Evidence and perceptions of rainfall change in Malawi: Do maize cultivar choices enhance climate change adaptation in sub-Saharan Africa?

Effects of climate change and cultivar on summer maize phenology

To identify countermeasures to the effects of climate warming on crop production, we mustunderstand the changes in crop phenology and the relationships between phenology and climatechange and cultivar. We used summer maize phenological and climate data in the North ChinaPlain, collected from 1981 to 2010. This study analyzed the spatiotemporal trends inphenological data and lengths of different...

Barriers to climate change adaptation in sub-Saharan Africa: evidence from northeast Ghana & systematic literature review

Since the focus of this study was to explore the key barriers to climate adaptation, the theme of the article needed to closely link to the objective of the

Slums, climate change and human health in sub-Saharan Africa.

a Faculty of Medicine, University of Ottawa, 451 Smyth Road, Ottawa, ON, K1H 8M5, Canada. Correspondence to Brodie Ramin (e-mail: [email protected]). Sub-Saharan Africa is the least urbanized region in the world. Only 39.1% of the region’s population lives in cities.1 However, the region’s urban population is projected to more than double to 760 million by 2030.1 The rate of urbanizat...

Reducing Vulnerability to Climate Change in Sub-Saharan Africa: The Need for Better Evidence

Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has contributed the least of any world region to the global accumulation of greenhouse gas emissions; however, this region will probably be more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change than any other [1]. Less than 7% of the world’s total emissions of greenhouse gases emanate from the African continent [2]; thus the continent contributes very little overall to clima...
