Book Review - Walter Leal Filho, Nicholas Oguge, Desalegn Ayal,

Yet, according to the World Meteorological Association's 2022 report, The State of the Climate in Africa, the continent is suffering disproportionately from the effects of climate change. [...] However, it seems that adoption of CSA and levels of support and information are currently linked to the commodity value of crops. [...] Several chapters present gender and intersectional frameworks and emphasise the importance of considering gender norms, divisions of labour and household power relations in climate adaptation policies and initiatives. [...] It is puzzling that the Preface is just two pages long and that there is no attempt to synthesise key themes, findings, challenges and successes in a more substantial introduction and/or introductions to each of the three sections. [...] This meant that I had to trawl through the very long list of contents to find related chapters and there is a risk that readers will miss hidden gems! In Part One, for example, it would have been quite feasible to have had sub-sections on climate adaptation and livestock farming, on the potential of roots and other indigenous vegetable crops, on cereals and cash crops, and on fishing and aquacultu.
