It charts past and present environmental change in different African settings and also discusses policies and scenarios for the future. The first section, ?Ideas?, enquires into local perceptions of the environment, followed by contributions on historical cases of environmental change and state regulation. The section ?Present? addresses decision-making and agenda-setting processes related to current representations and/or predicted effects of climate change. The section ?Prospects? is concerned with contemporary African megatrends. The authors move across different scales of investigation, from locally-grounded ethnographic analyses to discussions on continental trends and international policy.
