dc.descriptionThis document summarizes a 1990 UNEP-hosted conference in Nairobi on global warming and climatic change from African perspectives. It reviews evidence of rising temperatures and sea levels, attributes change largely to increasing greenhouse gases from fossil fuels and land-use change, and notes uncertainties in regional projections. It explains Africa’s disproportionate exposure due to economic crisis, debt, limited institutional capacity, and reliance on climate-sensitive agriculture, with impacts spanning droughts, floods, coastal erosion, salinization, and ecosystem disruption. It calls for policy action, research and monitoring, technology access, afforestation, family planning, and coordinated roles for governments, UN bodies, NGOs, and the private sector. en
