This book highlights the challenges with respect to climate change in the Global South. It demonstrates what has been happening in varying countries in this geographic location and how sustainable adaptation interventions could be used to alleviate these challenges. Most countries in the Global South are extremely vulnerable and unprepared for the present and future impact of climate change. Some climate change events that are presently plaguing these locations are extreme weather events such as flooding, food insecurity, disasters and droughts. The book provides case studies and interventions that can be a source to others who are seeking to find solutions to these adverse climate change events.
