What Does the IPCC Report Mean for Eastern and Southern Africa?

Kick-Off Debate of the 4th Biennale Conference of the African Studies Organization Africa (ASAA), 13-16 April 2022

The African Studies Association of Africa (ASAA) will hold its 4th Biennial Conference on 11-16 April 2022, co-hosted by the Institute of Humanities in Africa (HUMA) at the University of Cape Town. The conference is the scientific convening of the Association and is one of the world’s largest gatherings of scholars from Africa and beyond who study Africa. In the past (before COVID) it brought together over 600 delegates for networking, interdisciplinary conversations and sharing of knowledge. This year over 1,000 participants have registered to take part in person or virtually in this first hybrid version of the conference.

The conference provides a space for experts to share knowledge on climate change and stimulate dialogue in a pre-conference event. The event will bring together researchers, policymakers, conference delegates and others in a debate that will be informed by applied research on climate change. Dr Ibidun Adelekan, Professor at the Department of Geography, University of Ibadan, Nigeria, and contributing author to the Africa chapter of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, will set the scene for the event by speaking on the new IPCC report.
