Research on climate change and its impact on the vulnerable is fairly well developed in Southern Africa. The transfer of knowledge from scientists to policymakers, however, remains weak.
The forests of the Congo basin provide ecosystem services to over 80% of the population living in or near them.
This project seeks to reduce the vulnerability of poor populations in sub-Saharan Africa to climate change by mobilizing scientists and all the other actors concerned to inform political decision-making.
