I participate at climapAfrica because...
The climapAfrica programme offers me a great opportunity to further my research in climate change and to be able to contribute to policy discourse and formulation within the global and African contexts. I will develop networks with other scholars in Africa as well as experts from Germany who will guide my career progression.
