Researchers developed and applied multiple analytical procedures to assess quantitatively how climate affects current agricultural systems in Africa, enabling them to predict how these systems may be affected in the future by climate change under various global warming scenarios, and suggesting what role adaptation could play. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe study is the first to combine spatially referenced household survey data with climatic data at both national and international levels. This book provides vital knowledge about the impacts of climate change on Africa, serving as a guide to policy intervention strategies and investment in adaptation measures. It makes a major contribution to the analysis of climate change impacts and developing adaptation strategies, especially in the highly vulnerable farming communities in the developing world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished with CEEPA and supported by the World Bank.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAriel Dinar is a lead economist at the Development Research Group of the World Bank, Washington DC, USA.
