The West African Science Service Centre on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use, WASCAL, a regional body that offers capacity-building and research-focused services in the fight against climate change, has showcased its work – and the impact it has on enhancing climate resilience in West Africa – at COP29, the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

WASCAL made presentations at two side events at COP29, on 16 and 17 November. In a video exchange, Dr Kwame Oppong Hackman, a senior scientist at WASCAL, spoke about the launch of the West African research report on Nationally Determined Contributions, or NDCs, of West African governments. NDCs are the commitments made by countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change.
