An open meeting about a collaborative partnership between Cambridge and four universities in Africa focused on climate resilience and sustainability in higher education.

The meeting is open to academic and professional services staff interested in the areas of capacity building, research or innovation/entrepreneurship as these relate to climate resilience, as well as to colleagues who have existing relationships with institutions in Africa.

The meeting will be led by Professor Bhaskar Vira, Senior Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Education and Environmental Sustainability) and will include a briefing about the Collaborative, and the opportunities that are available for contribution to the activities from Cambridge, as well as information about the current plans of our partner universities and ways in which Cambridge colleagues can collaborate with counterparts in Africa.

The Higher Education Climate Resilience and Sustainability Collaborative is part of the University's ongoing programme on climate resilience and sustainability in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation. The Collaborative includes three African partners, in addition to the University of Cambridge: the University of Ghana (Accra, Ghana), Makerere University (Kampala, Uganda) and the University of Cape Town (Cape Town, South Africa).
