CLIMATE CHANGE
Africa is on track to surpass the 1.5°C global warming threshold – the limit for the average temperature increase set by the Paris Agreement to contain global warming – in a mere 15 years, even under the most optimistic low-emission scenarios, new research published in the CABI Digital Library reveals.
The study, which emphasises the role of research and innovation in climate mitigation, conducted by scientists from the University of Zimbabwe and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) in Kenya, highlights the urgent need for just transition pathways to help Africa’s agricultural systems adapt to a warming planet – while also building resilience and reducing emissions.
