Africa: Continent spearheading solutions to climate change

African countries are spearheading ways to tackle climate change and have important lessons for how others can cope in future, says a soon to be released report. The report by the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) at Columbia University, United States, shows how certain countries are integrating climate information into development and planning. This helps them to manage climate risks such as flood and drought, reports SciDev.
