Abstract
ABSTRACT Climate change, one of the major challenges of our time, requires international responses. This paper focuses on understanding what shapes climate change literacy in Africa, i.e. the understanding and knowledge about all the elements of climate change: its causes, its consequences and its solutions. The methodology is based on the seventh round of the Afrobarometer surveys, which for the first time included questions about climate change. The results show in particular the central role of direct experience of the connected understanding between the different aspects of literacy and the complexity of the impact of identity and trust in institutions. All these elements should be key to motivate governments in responding to climate change challenges.
