Building Africa's capacity for climate-resilient development
The Africa Climate Collaborative brings together the University of Cape Town, the University of Cambridge, the University of Ghana and Makerere University to strengthen the people, research, innovation and partnerships needed to drive climate-resilient and green development.
At the University of Cape Town (UCT), the Collaborative integrates the University's strengths in climate and development through a unified, transdisciplinary programme hosted by the African Climate and Development Initiative (ACDI).
