Africa is in an untenable predicament: It is the continent that contributed the least to climate change yet faces the harshest of its consequences. As African countries balance efforts to address the climate crisis with goals of economic growth and job creation for the youngest populations in the world, our objective is to understand what this balance means for policymaking.
This project made climate change concepts more accessible by explaining key terms used in climate science and policy. By clarifying complex terminology, it aimed to help a wider audience better understand climate change debates and engage more confidently with the topic.
This project analysed adaptation components of NDCs and national climate frameworks in Ghana, Nigeria, and Senegal, evaluating policy dimensions to identify challenges and opportunities for sustaining effective climate adaptation strategies.
