Climate change campaigns and activities should ensure that decision-makers perceive climate impacts as psychological close. Crucial new findings show that African leaders perceive climate risk to be of increasing concern to them and their cities and urgently need concrete, actionable solutions.
We support Sub-Saharan African city stakeholders and subnational governments co-produce relevant knowledge for climate resilience.
