This book offers discussions on potential of extractive industries to drive growth, support sustainable development and poverty reduction in Sub-Saharan Africa in line with Goal 13 of the Sustainable Development Goals on Climate Action. It achieves this by compiling diverse studies that explores the nexus between climate change and extractive industries in the region. The book does not only advance understanding of the extractive industries but also proposes strategic actions that will potentially lead to more effective climate change mitigation and adaption actions along the production chain in the region.
