Abstract

Abstract This chapter aims to identify the drivers behind climate change policies, the intentions for their implementation, and the balance between national and subnational administrative levels with regard to control over finance, decision making and action. This chapter first traces the links between the international climate change agenda and policy developments in Africa. This chapter then examines the governance mechanisms associated with national climate change policies in Africa. The chapter analyses rural climate change adaptation using the principle of subsidiarity. The chapter ends by assessing the balance between decision making and implementing power between national and subnational government institutions.
