Introduction -- Climate and climate change of southern Africa -- Perspectives for approaching climate resource and change in tourism -- Methods for tourism and climate change research in southern Africa -- Climate change risks to southern African tourism -- Destination resilience, vulnerabilities, and climate change threats -- Adaptation to climate change by the southern African tourism sector -- The role of tourism in contributing to climate change -- Governance and policy needs in tourism and climate change relations -- Conclusions and a way forward.

"This book explores the nature of climate change in southern Africa, its impacts on tourism and the resilience, adaptation and governance needs in various tourism operations and environments. Previous studies on climate change and tourism have mainly focused on the Global North and specific forms of tourism such as snow-based winter activities. Drawing on case studies from a wide range of countries including South Africa, Lesotho, Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, this book fills this lacuna by describing and analysing the climate change and tourism nexus in the southern African context. The book begins by providing an overview of the current and estimated impacts of climate change to the tourism industry in the region, highlighting the deepening socio-economic inequities, and environmental and social injustices. It focuses on the importance of sustainable tourism in tackling these issues and highlights that resilience and robust governance and policy systems are essential for a tourism destination to successfully adapt to change. By synthesising the key lessons learned through this analysis, Climate Change and Tourism in Southern Africa also draws attention to specific adaptation and policy strategies which have value for other regions in the Global South. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change, tourism and environmental policy and justice"--
