International Conference about Climate Change and Food Security in Africa
To identify scientific strategies and policy options for the future, the
Network of African Science Academies (NASAC) will organize the conference
'Impact of and Adaptation to Climate Change in Relation to Food Security
in Africa'.
Climate change is expected to have a high impact on food security. This
may specifically affect African countries, since predictions indicate that
the African climate may be subject to more extreme conditions, and food
security is already at risk in large regions of Africa.
To identify scientific strategies and policy options for the future, the
Network of African Science Academies (NASAC) will organize the conference
'Impact of and Adaptation to Climate Change in Relation to Food Security
in Africa'. From 23-25 February 2011, the conference brings together in
Nairobi, Kenya, the very best climate change scientists to exchange ideas
and experiences on climate change impacts and adaptation in relation to
food security in Africa. Together with NASAC the KNAW developed a joint
three year programme for capacity building in Africa. This conference is
one of the action points to be initiated from this collaboration work
plan.
We invite all excellent African and Dutch scientists with a strong
interest in climate change linked to food security to send in an abstract
for this conference. Besides senior researchers also young scientists
holding a PhD degree are invited to take part in the conference. The
deadline for submitting abstracts is 31 October 2010. You can send
abstracts to the Network of African Science Academies (NASAC). An
organizing committee is responsible for the selection of candidates.
Travel- and accommodation costs will be covered for all selected
participants. No conference fees will be charged.
