Extreme climate conditions: How Africa can adapt

 

Title: 

 Summary: In this article about how the authors think that Africa can adapt to climate change, the discussed topics on how the economy can benefit from it and what techniques can be used to stop global warming. The authors from McKinsey and Company stated that acting upon global warming was thought to boost the economy by bringing in millions of dollars. Ways that money would come in is thought to be investors and partnerships interested in the changes being made by the government as well a cost effective approaches such as techniques to adapt to global warming. Some of the methods that the article recommended was migration, irrigation systems and even soil techniques. The writers said that farmers would migrate to bigger cities to have better access to water, the benefits of this is clear. The article proves this by adding that the migration of 1 million people by 2030 has the possibility of increasing agriculture productivity by 6 percent. The rise in agriculture productivity could put more money into the economy. 

 Analysis: I agree with statements describing that doing something about global warming will benefit the economy. I believe this because, organizations or charities are usually interested in things like this as well as possibly bringing in media. I feel like this article has a really good approach, stating the issues then giving solutions that could be used.
