Global Problems, African Solutions: African Climate Scientists’ Perspectives on Climate Change

This paper offers a preliminary survey of Africa’s climate scientists’ views on the critical problem of climate change. It also presents their views on the state of African climate science, the challenges it faces and its future. While Africa’s scientists value their involvement in international scientific assessments, they want more opportunities to collaborate with their peers on the continent. They also want greater dialogue with African policy makers and a broader program of public education to better equip Africans to take practical actions to meet the challenges of climate change.
