UCT study calls for climate services rooted in local knowledge
A new study led by Dr Petra Holden of the African Climate & Development Initiative (ACDI) at the University of Cape Town (UCT) compared priorities for strengthening existing climate services for nature-based solutions in sub-Saharan Africa with priorities for entirely new climate services. A clear finding was the strong demand for meaningful integration of scientific knowledge with indigenous and local knowledge in climate-service co-production.
