Focal Areas/Units
At the Centre we are devoted to understanding the mix of policies, strategies, and institutional arrangements that can help to address climate change and natural resource degradation in Africa in the context of sustainable development and Africa’s structural economic transformation. We provide research, advisory, training and consultancy services on a wide range of interconnected topics grouped under four operational units:
- Climate Policy and Justice
- The Green Growth and Sustainable Development
- Climate Adaptation and Resilience
- Climate Information Services
Climate Policy and Justice
The Green Growth and Sustainable Development
Climate Adaptation and Resilience
Climate Information Services
Our approach combines the knowledge experience of the African context with a deep understanding of scientific information, data and frameworks. Our team brings a unique perspective that emphasises connection across scales of governance – from local through national to international dimensions. We have extensive high-impact engagement with local, state and national governments, businesses, development partners and civil society groups and have led on several high-profile projects on climate change policy, climate adaptation and green economy transition in Africa.
