Abstract

Through this publication we seek to promote awareness of the valuable contributions that African women can and are making to science, particularly climate science, and promote the incredible stories of female African climate scientists to inspire younger generations of students to pursue STEM careers, including climate science. They serve as important role models.

Description

The fellowship program was made possible by a five year grant from the International Development Research Centre, Ottawa, Canada with financial support from the Government of Canada through Global Affairs Canada (GAC). This fellowship program is part of AIMS’ broader Mathematical Sciences for Climate Change Resilience (MS4CR) program which seeks to build the intellectual capital needed to solve the myriad challenges to Africa’s development resulting from, and impacted by climate change.
