IPCC’s Special Reports on Land and the Ocean: What’s in it for Africa?

CDKN has launched two new publications distilling the key messages of the IPCC’s recently published Special Report on Climate Change and Land and the Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate for decision-makers in Africa. 

CDKN is an alliance of an alliance of SouthSouthNorth, the Overseas Development Institute, Fundación Futuro Latinoamericano and ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, South Asia.

• The CDKN What’s in it for Africa guides on the ocean and land also include supplementary material from recently published research that extends and explains the points made in the IPCC’s Special Report. 
• They respond to widespread demand among CDKN’s partner networks for Africa-specific information. 
• Both guides are also available in French (ocean and land). 
• Alongside these reports, CDKN presents ‘Communications toolkits’ for both the ocean and the land series: a bundle of resources available for education and outreach purposes to encourage wide public understanding of these latest scientific findings
