Climate Risk in Africa: Adaptation and Resilience

Declan Conway, Katharine Vincent

In this eye-opening video, we dive into the groundbreaking book *Climate Risk in Africa: Adaptation and Resilience* by Declan Conway and Katharine Vincent. Discover why our obsession with perfect weather predictions is leading to catastrophic failures in African infrastructure. From Tanzania's mega dam at risk of collapse to Zambia's cholera crisis, we reveal the hidden truths about climate adaptation. Learn how local farmers in Malawi outsmarted scientists, how women in Uganda used data to fight patriarchy, and why the old 'predict-then-act' model is dead. This video challenges everything you thought you knew about climate science and offers a new framework for survival: flexibility, robustness, and equity.
