1. Introduction Scientific evidence of the world’s changing climate is unequivocal. The expected impacts of the changing climate are likely to adversely affect the well being of all countries and particularly the poorest countries‚ some of which are in Africa. The changing climate has been manifested in the form of: increased severity and frequency of droughts; floods and storms; water stress‚ coastal erosion‚ and higher incidence of vector borne diseases among others.

To put it in its simplest terms‚ climate change refers to the long term change in the earth’s temperature‚ particularly an increase in the average atmospheric temperature (Dictionary.com). Although there are some natural causes for climate change‚ most scientists are in agreement that humans are at least in part responsible for some of the effects we have already seen and must therefore take corrective action immediately to slow the process before it is too late and irreversible catastrophic damage

NOTES: The word is divided into 6 climate zones. These zones depend on several factors. The first is temperature; if a country lies near the equator it tends to be hot; but if it’s near the poles it tends to be colder. A country can also have a cold climate if it’s very mountainous with most of its land sitting well above sea level. Wind direction can also influence climate. If winds are being blow from a hot area they will raise temperatures‚ the opposite is also true. If winds have been blown
