Adaptation to Climate Change Vulnerabilities

This paper revealed that increased human population and industrialisation have aggravated vulnerabilities to climate change consequences like flooding, drought and desertification among others. It also emphasised that climate change poses a global existential challenge. The basic concepts of climate change such as vulnerability, adaptation and mitigation were discussed. Existing climate change protocols originating from various United Nations facilitated meetings and future action plans such as low carbon emissions and adoption of cleaner technologies were highlighted. Recommendations were made among others that mitigation and adaptation to climate change be part of the key objectives of government at all levels, local to national.
