About CAPA

What the project is all about

Despite contributing little to global greenhouse gas emissions, Africa bears a disproportionate share of climate impacts, from heat waves and droughts to floods and cyclones, affecting vulnerable urban and rural communities across the continent.

CAPA (Climate Action within the AU-EU Partnership for Africa) is a transdisciplinary consortium of African and European scientists, policymakers, funders, service providers and communities, working together to strengthen disaster risk reduction and climate resilience across the five African regions.
