Wave height is affected by wind speed, wind duration (or how long the wind blows), and fetch, which is the distance over water that the wind blows in a single direction. If wind speed is slow, only small waves result, regardless of wind duration or fetch.
Answer:
Climate change is a global phenomenon. The intensity of the impacts will vary across the globe. For example, in the low lying islands, sea level rise will be the obvious impact, cause the water wells/bores to become salty. This will also pose threat for crops and plants to grow. For larger islands and continents(as is for South Africa), increasing temperature will lead to prolonged dry season and drought. Also frequency of rainy season leading to flooding. In similar context, will also affect food production.
Back to the question, how were you going to solve the problem? This is a tough question that have challenged scientists, academics, policy makers and the ordinary citizens like us for decades now. There are two words commonly used when dealing with impacts of climate change, Adaptation and mitigation.
For adaptation, one have to look on tangible solutions to response to the impacts. Example for salt water killing crops, plant crops that can withstand brackish water. This is only an example.
For mitigation, this is what our leaders have been discussing during the COP conferences. To reduce the amount of greenhouse as including CO2 pumped into the atmosphere by industries.
So the question, both adaptation and mitigation measure will have to be adopted. But you cannot solve the problem, only adapted to the changes.

Explanation:
The countries in the Horn of Africa are Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia. The smallest country in the Horn of Africa is Djibouti, whose capital shares the same name as the country (Djibouti). The Horn of Africa covers the part of Africa that is the most eastern part of the continent and Djibouti lies not far from the Arabian Peninsula, with only a little bit of waterway (the sea) dividing it from Yemen. Djibouti is a multi-ethnic country with Arab and French being the two main languages.
