CR SPECIAL 8
Africa and Global Climate Change
Published: August 15, 2001
Guest Editor: Paul V. Desanker
This CR SPECIAL presents the latest climate change research for Africa. In parti-
cular it reports how climate has varied from palaeo time periods to the present, and what changes might be expected in the 21st century. Carbon, water and desertification are also discussed. Ideas are put forward for advancing national and regional integrated assessment models that will help incorporate climate change analysis and prediction in aspects of sustainable development, and that contribute to IPCC assessments.
