Abstract : Climate change has been identified as an environmental and human crisis of the 21st century, which  led  to  public,  political and  academic  attention  being  devoted  to  the issue of  global warming  and  climate change.  At  the  root of  climate  change is  global warming  caused  by anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases (for example, burning of fossil fuels, like coal, petroleum and natural gasses and widespread deforestation). The warming occurs world-wide and temperatures are rising on the African land mass and in the surrounding oceans. A broad scientific and political consensus has been established that climate change poses a considerable threat to Africa, its ecosystems and many of its species. Concern over  the  negative  impact  of  climate  change  has  strengthened  fears  that  environmental degradation and demographic pressures will displace millions of people in Africa and create serious social upheaval. Most scientists studying the potential impact of climate change have predicted that Africa is likely to experience higher temperatures, the drying up of soils, increased pest and disease pressure, shift in suitable areas for growing crops and livestock, increased desertification in the Sahara region, floods, deforestation, and erosion are all signs that cli mate change is already happening and represents one of the greatest environmental, social and economic threats facing Africa.
