Climate change is one universal occurrence that affects the globe and its inhabitants. Sub-Saharan Africa, as part of the globe, is not left out in the afoot, adverse changes taking place in every nook and cranny of the earth. The effects or impacts of climate change in sub-Saharan Africa, however, are what this study tried to look at. How man contributes to the supersonically changing climate, and the solutions or the measures to be taken in order to effectively handle the issue are also considered in the paper. Nonetheless, textbooks, different journal articles, several organizational reports, newspapers and online scholarly articles were consulted in the course of the study.
