All too often, profit-driven climate solutions make people poorer. It naturally follows therefore that global climate solutions are rendered in terms of finance and geopolitical boundaries and can have unintended consequences. For example, commercial resource solutions result in profit to private shareholders rather than building a collectively owned infrastructure. How can research advance an African ecological policy of habitability that builds on local knowledge of how a landscape works and builds a local resource that serves everyone at the lowest possible cost?

CzASE will conduct comparative studies at three sites of about 50x50km in six countries: Ethiopia, Tanzania, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and South Africa.

Partners:

Addis Ababa University (Ethiopia), Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (Malawi), University of Zimbabwe, University of Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), Universidade Eduardo Mondlane (Mozambique) and the Human Sciences Research Council (South Africa).
