BOOK TITLE: CLIMATE CHANGE, EXTREME CLIMATE EVENTS, LOSS AND DAMAGE IN EAST AFRICA - HORN OF AFRICA
East Africa is experiencing significant impacts from climate change, driven by extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, and heatwaves, which threaten livelihoods, ecosystems, and various economic sectors. The combined effects result in immediate losses and long-term damages, reinforcing cycles of poverty and inequality. There exists a substantial body of research documenting the consequences of extreme climate events on agriculture and other sectors within Africa. For instance, climate change is placing intense pressures on agriculture, water resources, health, energy, biodiversity, fisheries, infrastructure, tourism, human settlements, forestry, and more, leading to increased risks for food security, health, economic stability, and ecosystem sustainability throughout the continent. Consequently, extreme weather events contribute to loss and damage and amplify vulnerabilities across Africa. Therefore, the assessment of loss and damage is vital for addressing these consequences,
