Climate
Research and materials addressing key issues on climate from an African perspective.
It is vital to understand where Africa sits within the global climate emergency and the Foundation regularly produces a range of research and materials addressing the key issues; including the impact of the climate crisis on Africa and its people, ways in which Africa is leading in renewable energy and the key role Africa can play in advancing the global green economy. Research that the Foundation has produced for discussion at COP27, the Africa Climate Summit and COP28 from an African perspective are all available on this page.
