Climate Resilience in diverse African contexts
Co-creating knowledge∞action networks
Space
People can better prepare for climate change if they know how weather patterns and climate change will impact their – often already precarious or threatened – livelihoods. Focusing on smallholders, fisherfolk, urban outdoor workers, pastoralists and displaced people in various African countries, Climares uses participatory digital and face to face research, co-created climate story lines and advocacy methods to ensure that weather and climate information becomes accurate and actionable. Knowledge∞Action networks that comprise the population groups, weather, climate and disaster actors, other stakeholders and global connections will form inclusive knowledge infrastructure to advance the resilience of vulnerable populations.
