摘要

Climate change today poses significant threats to both human beings and the global ecosystem, exposing countries to various vulnerabilities. However, a few aspects of climate change have not been adequately explored, including the convergence of vulnerabilities. In this study, we aim to investigate the convergence of aggregate climate change vulnerability and its subcomponents. We use a club convergence approach to examine the data from 53 African countries for the period 1995–2021. We assess climate change vulnerability, which includes food, water, infrastructure, ecosystem services, human habitat, and health vulnerabilities. According to our findings, countries do not converge to a single equilibrium point in all vulnerability indicators. In contrast, the club convergence method reveals multiple convergence clubs for each indicator. The manuscript discusses the policy implications arising from the results.
