The average national climate change literacy rate in Africa is only 39%  . Of 394 sub-national regions surveyed by Afrobarometer, 8%  have a climate change literacy rate lower than 20%, while only 2%  score higher than 80%, which is common across European countries . Striking differences exist when comparing sub-national units within countries. Climate change literacy rates in Nigeria range from 71% in Kwara to 5% in Kano, and within Botswana from 69% in Lobatse to only 6% in Kweneng West . Education is the strongest positive predictor of climate change literacy, particularly tertiary education, but poverty decreases climate change literacy and climate change literacy rates average 12.8% lower for women than men .
