As world leaderscontinue to debate action plans on climate change, African communities are already implementing their own survival plans.
World leaders failed to agree a new international treaty to tackle climate change at the UN Climate Change Conference held in Copenhagen, in December 2009. But across the African continent, vulnerable rural communities can't wait for an international agreement - they are living with climate change, and they have started to develop their own solutions to it.

Other reports demonstrate the scale of the problem at the global and regional level, and the choices open to the international community. Climate Frontline is different: it allows the voices of men and women in African communities to be heard directly. For these families on the frontline, changing the way they live and farm has not been a choice - they must adapt if they want to survive.

They describe, in their own words, how climate change is affecting their lives and how they have responded to a changed environment by building on local knowledge, changing the way they work and diversifying their livelihoods.
