Abstract

This newsletter/brief presents highlights and major recommendations from the presentations, personal narratives and international discussion that emerged during the African Climate Change Fellowship Program (ACCFP)/ AfricaAdapt session at the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP17 in Durban, South Africa, 2011). The event provided a platform for facilitated discussion between COP participants and members of the ACCFP and AfricaAdapt communities. Topics of discussion included the roles of knowledge generation and dissemination, and the challenges to overcome for such opportunities to be inclusive, relevant and applicable.
