African perspectives on climate change research

The 27th Conference of the Parties (COP27) is being held in November 2022 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. Having a climate summit hosted in an African country makes it timely to highlight climate change research from the continent. We asked a selection of researchers to share their thoughts on current research questions and how they affect African responses to climate change.

Maha Al-Zu’bi – IWMI Regional Researcher and CGIAR Initiative on Fragility to Resilience in Central and West Asia and North Africa co-lead – on translating interdisciplinary research to scaled-up climate action.
