Our theme for the month of October is
How should Africa respond to a climate crisis it didn't create?

We now turn our focus to strengthening Africa’s climate science and research capacity. We will explore how building research networks, promoting scientific education and securing sustainable funding can help African countries reduce reliance on external expertise and lead the way in addressing climate change with homegrown solutions.

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.
