CCDA 5 to be the launch pad for advancing new frontiers of climate research in Africa, expert says
The 5th annual Conference on Climate Change and Development in Africa (CCDA 5) which opens here promises to be the real launch pad for climate research in Africa, according to sources close to the organization of the meeting whose theme is: “Africa, Climate Change and Sustainable development: What is at stake at Paris and beyond?”. Another key post-CCDA 5 activity by CR4D will be the initiation of short-term pilot projects across all the regions of Africa. These projects will develop proto-types for improving sub-seasonal to seasonal climate information in partnership with ongoing initiatives within the regional climate centers and national meteorological and hydrological services, he assures. Climate Research for Development (CR4D) initiative is a mechanism for integrating the Africa climate research community (scientists and institutions) to deliver on priority end-users’ and climate-resilient development planning needs in Africa.
