Our theme for the month of October is
How should Africa respond to a climate crisis it didn't create?
This week, we turn our attention to the crucial role African communities should play in supporting the continent’s climate resilience efforts. We will examine how grassroots initiatives, local knowledge and community-driven solutions can contribute to building a more climate-resilient Africa, ensuring that the people most affected by climate change are at the forefront of the response. We also aim to highlight the importance of local involvement in crafting sustainable, homegrown solutions to safeguard Africa’s future.

This month's Policy Paper will focus on how Africa can adapt to and mitigate the impacts of a crisis that threatens its development and prosperity. Join us in this collaborative endeavor as we discuss solutions that build resilience, advocate for climate justice and secure a sustainable future for Africa. we aim to highlight the importance of local involvement in crafting sustainable, homegrown solutions to safeguard Africa’s future.
