in Africa is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change as food
production is highly dependent on rainfall. There have been a number of crop
failures due to extreme droughts and untimely rainfall. In many instances
flooding from prolonged rainfalls has resulted in the washing away of
farmlands. In the northern part of Africa, Extreme temperatures have negatively
affected animal and crop production leading to extreme faming and poverty.
