AMCEN guidebook Addressing Climate Change Challenges in Africa: A Practical Guide towards Sustainable Development.  The guidebook is available at http://www.unep.org/roa/amcen/docs/publications/guidebook_CLimateChange.pdf
The guidebook has synthesized relevant material from IPCC, UN reports and other documentation on emerging issues on environment, climate change and development. It is written in a style suitable for policymakers and practitioners and provides guidance and practical advice on how to address climate change issues in the development and implementation of actions leading to sustainable development. The Guidebook is largely self-contained and stand alone, but guides users to relevant materials in the form of links and annexes.
