Sectors
Africa’s climate impacts are highly sector-specific and context-dependent, requiring more than generic narratives to inform effective investment planning. At Africa Climate Solutions (ACS), we provide the datasets, models, and decision frameworks necessary to identify where risks are highest and which adaptation options are most feasible for critical systems.
Agriculture in Africa is predominantly rainfed and highly sensitive to climate variability, making it one of the most climate-exposed sectors.
Water systems in Africa are characterized by high spatial and temporal variability, and are increasingly influenced by climate change.
Energy systems in Africa are both climate-sensitive and central to development.
Climate change poses significant risks to public health in Africa through multiple pathways.
Infrastructure systems—such as transport, water supply, energy, and urban services—are highly exposed to climate hazards and are critical for economic development.
Ecosystems in Africa provide critical services that underpin livelihoods, including water regulation, soil fertility, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity support.
Tourism is an important economic sector in many African countries, contributing to GDP, employment, and foreign exchange earnings.
Effective governance systems are fundamental to addressing climate change, as they shape policy design, implementation, and enforcement.
