Symposium on Climate Change Adaptation in Africa 2016

21 February 2016 - 23 February 2016

The “Symposium on Climate Change Adaptation in Africa” will focus on “fostering African resilience and capacity to adapt,” meaning that it serves the purpose of showcasing experiences from research, field projects and best practice in climate change adaptation in African countries, which may be useful or implemented in other countries in the continent.

The Symposium is being organised by Manchester Metropolitan University (UK), Addis Ababa University, the Research and Transfer Centre “Applications of Life Sciences” of the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (Germany) and the International Climate Change Information Programme (ICCIP). It will be an interdisciplinary event, mobilising African and non-African scholars undertaking research and/or executing climate change projects in the African continent.
