Abstract
The Donald Trump’s environmental policy runs contrary to that of Barack Obama. While Trump’s predecessor had advocated a reduction of carbon through renewable energy, Trump has advocated for an increment of fossil fuel while scrapping the environmental regulations as an agendum to boasting the American economy. Trump further veers from Barack Obama’s climate change agenda when he opposed the Paris Climate Change Agreement. Some notable American economic analysts have forecasted that Trumps decision will likely drive the American economy in the short and medium term. While the American economy is forecasted to head in a positive direction, the sub-Saharan African livelihood is being threatened in the short, medium and long term. It has been proven empirically that the sub-Saharan region will be the most adversely impacted upon by the climate change variation. In an attempt to explore the nexus between Trump’s climate change agenda and the sub- Saharan rural livelihood, a textual analysis of the United Nations framework convention on climate change (UNFCCC) - 2015 Paris Agreement; variety of policy documents on climate change and a series of scholarly publications on climate change were reviewed. Based on the current climatic change variation, the study emphasized the unquantifiable, worrisome and looming consequence the climate change impact would have on livelihood in the sub-Saharan Africa in the near future. In consonance to these worrisome consequences, this paper advocates a proactive-integrated water resource management approach across rural communities within the sub-Saharan region of Africa. It also advocates the interactive participation among climate change stakeholders wherein cutting edge innovations discovered by researchers and scientist will be meticulously infused into the policy documents and thereon be executed as an agendum to sustaining the future livelihood among rural populace in the sub-Saharan Africa.
