An Appraisal of the Measures Adopted Within the Context of Sustainable Development to Combat Climate Change

Abstract

Climate change has continuously been regarded as a major environmental threat, which has hampered the realization of sustainable development in Cameroon. In response to the scourge of climate change, the State of Cameroon has adopted several measures. The measures adopted in Cameroon have not only been vital in fighting climate change, but have also contributed to fostering sustainable development in Cameroon. The research methodology used in this work is qualitative, and it further employs the doctrinal research method, which analyses primary and secondary data sources. This paper therefore appraises the measures adopted against climate change in Cameroon, specifically within the context of sustainable development. Cameroon has recorded successes and has also faced challenges in the journey of promoting sustainable development, these aspects will be examined in the subsequent paragraph starting with the successes recorded.
