IPCC Sixth Assessment Report: factsheets for decision-makers
The Climate Development and Knowledge Network (CDKN) – with the African Climate and Development Initiative, SouthSouthNorth and ODI – has launched a new series of factsheets that distil data, trends and analysis from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report most relevant to Africa’s five subregions: Central Africa, East Africa, North Africa, southern Africa and West Africa. This in response to demand expressed by our partners in Africa for more country and sub-regional information.
The IPCC report also provides the strongest-ever assessment of evidence on how climate change is impacting the African continent. As a region highly vulnerable to climate change, this detailed information of climate change risks and adaptation options is urgently needed to inform planning and implementation in Africa.
