| dc.description | The sixth African Economic Conference went into its second day in Addis Ababa, where delegates are focusing on thematic environmental and climate issues affecting African countries.
Two French academics - Patrick Guillaumont, and Catherine Simone – disclosed that they had produced a new indicator of physical vulnerability to climate change, which determined the extent to which countries are vulnerable to climate change.
The index focused on the physical consequences of climate change that can directly affect people’s welfare and activity, rather than on an assessment of the economic consequences. According to the researchers, the indicator confirms previous United Nations data on Africa’s high vulnerability to climate change phenomena such as draught. It was found to be useful in determining climate change adaptation, mitigation measures, and resource allocation. | en |
