Effects of Climate Change on Water Pollution in Developing Countries

Abstract

This paper dwelled on the Effects of climatic changes in Africa, in relation to factors such as population growth, unequal access to resources, food insecurity, poor health systems and poverty. These conditions will increase the vulnerabilities of many people in Africa. Further, Africa’s low capacity in science, technology and innovation will further deepen the vulnerability and effects of climate change on water resources.  African countries need to face the challenge holistically through science, technology and innovation, and establish appropriate governance, policies, regulations and measures to adapt to the challenges posed by climate change, especially as they affect water resources. It is essential to ensure greater resilience by keeping an audit or inventory of water resources with the aim of tracking the effects of climate change.

Keywords: Key words are Climate change, African water supply and food security.
