Call for Papers: Symposium on Climate Change Adaptation in Africa
becoming clearer.
The “SYMPOSIUM ON CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION IN AFRICA” will focus on “fostering African resilience and capacity to adapt”, meaning that it will serve the purpose of showcasing experiences from research, field projects and best practice in climate change adaptation in African countries, which may be useful or implemented in other countries in the continent.
One of the aims of the event will be to document and disseminate the wealth of experiences available today. To this purpose, the book “Climate Change Adaptation in Africa: fostering African resilience and capacity to adapt” will be published, with all accepted papers. This will be a further volume of the award-winning book series “Climate Change Management”, which since its creation in 2008 has become the world´s leading book series on climate change management. In addition, a set of papers selected by the coordination team will be published in a special issue of the International Journal of Climate Change Strategies and Management (a fully indexed journal, also at ISI /Thomson Reuters), under the title “Climate Change Adaptation
Practices in African Countries”.
