Sustainability Challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa I Continental Perspectives and Insights from Western and Central Africa

Science for Sustainable Societies Series Editorial Board Editor in Chief Kazuhiko Takeuchi Institute for Global Environmental Studies (IGES), Hayama, Japan Institute for Future Initiatives (IFI), The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan

Scope of the Series This series aims to provide timely coverage of results of research conducted in accordance with the principles of sustainability science to address impediments to achieving sustainable societies – that is, societies that are low carbon emitters, that live in harmony with nature, and that promote the recycling and re-use of natural resources. Books in the series also address innovative means of advancing sustainability science itself in the development of both research and education models. The overall goal of the series is to contribute to the development of sustainability science and to its promotion at research institutions worldwide, with a view to furthering knowledge and overcoming the limitations of traditional disciplinebased research to address complex problems that afflict humanity and now seem intractable. Books published in this series will be solicited from scholars working across academic disciplines to address challenges to sustainable development in all areas of human endeavors. This is an official book series of the Integrated Research System for Sustainability Science (IR3S) of the University of Tokyo and the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES).
