This inaugural report in the Climate and Society series is a key resource for climate-informed planning and practice in Africa –
as it critically examines five experiences of ongoing climate risk management in the disaster risk reduction, health, agriculture, and food security sectors. The report provides a valuable opportunity to reflect on the positive lessons that can drawn from these experiences, as well as on the key knowledge, information, and capacity gaps we face in managing climate risk in Africa today.
