And for the worse. Those aged 70 and above, as opposed to younger generations, can attest to this climate anomaly. In recent times, hotter temperatures and heat waves, floods, droughts, desertification, erratic rains, rising water levels in lakes and seas (Indian Ocean), melting ice such as on Mt. Kenya and Mt. Kilimanjaro, low groundwater levels, and other adverse climatic effects have been witnessed. These occurrences usually lead to famines, hunger, poor nutrition, disease, wildfires, deforestation, displacement of people and migration, human-wildlife conflict, air pollution, competition for water and pasture, loss of livestock, soil erosion, locust invasions, loss of biodiversity, deprivation of livelihoods, etc. Majority of our citizens acknowledge that something awry is happening to their habitat, but are unable to comprehend this phenomenon which commenced in the 1800s especially with the onset of industrialization. Climate change terminology is thus of recent origin. GJSFR-H Classification: LocalActionsRoadmapforClimateChangeAlleviationinAfrica DDC Code: 363.7 LCC Code: QC903.2.C17
