Earlier in October, KADI project consortium met up in Nairobi and online for our annual meeting and stakeholder engagement. Two events were hosted at the Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development. Some highlights and the presentations by our experts are shared below. Review of the proposed concepts for pan-African research infrastructures On Tuesday … Continue reading “African Research Infrastructure concept review and stakeholder cooperation”

The KADI project envisions the development of knowledge and co-production of climate services through an African observation and data research infrastructure. Within this framework, the project team in Kenya organised a workshop to bring together stakeholders of weather and climate information provided by the Kenya Meteorological Department for a discussion on how to understand user … Continue reading “Understanding user needs and co-producing climate services in Kenya”

Earlier in April 2024, KADI partners from the Resilience Academy visited the premises of Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) in Helsinki. The FMI is housed on the same building as the ICOS Head Office, therefore this was the ideal opportunity to hear about the FMI’s activities in Africa as well as share ICOS’ work in KADI. … Continue reading “KADI partners visit the Finnish Meteorological Institute in Helsinki”

In this report, we highlight the stakeholder engagement and partnerships of the Abidjan City Pilot in terms of the roles, resources and expertise that would be useful for the pilot. In this pilot, the climate service that will be designed is a particulate pollution warning system through a PM2.5 measurements network and an effective communication … Continue reading “Stakeholder engagement events in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire”

In February 2024, a research article on the African Regional Greenhouse Gases Budget (2010–2019) by Yolandi Ernst and colleagues was published in Global Biochemical Cycles. As part of the Regional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes Phase 2 (RECCAP2) initiative of the Global Carbon Project, the paper addresses the policy-relevant objectives of RECCAP2 through a comprehensive … Continue reading “New publication shows Africa’s carbon sink capacity is decreasing”

April 27 – May 2, 2025 Vienna, Austria The European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly brings together close to 20 000 geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary, and space sciences.
