520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. Africa is one continent severely affected by the ravaging effects of global environmental change yet it is least responsible for this. The continent is rural and urban poor are particularly vulnerable to reduced agricultural production, worsening food security, increased incidence of both flooding and drought, spreading of disease and heightening risk of conflict over scarce land and water resources. As such this timely book consisting of chapters authored by scholars from multi-disciplinary backgrounds provides the reader a variety of contexts from which to understand the impacts of global environment.
