Climate risk and vulnerability: a handbook for southern Africa

The handbook examines climate change impacts in southern Africa, noting that surface temperatures are projected to rise throughout the 21st century. It argues that some global temperature increases are linked to human influence and recommends integrating climate risk and adaptation measures into development planning, creating new coordination mechanisms for disaster risk reduction, and establishing inclusive institutional frameworks for stakeholder participation.

• Climate model projections indicate that surface temperatures, including minimum and maximum temperatures, in southern Africa are expected to rise during the 21st century.
• The document asserts that certain global increases in surface air temperature are clearly connected to human activity.
