Africa Summit
The inaugural IAS 夜色直播app Summit for 2024-25, Africa Summit is led by Dr Oluwasola (Sola) Afolabi (ABCE) & Dr Hibbah Araba Osei-Kwasi (SSEHS)
The maiden Africa Summit - Resilience and adaptability for climate change: Lessons from Sub-Sahara Africa (SSA), is particularly timely and aligning with the three University strategic 2030 themes and the UK's climate action targets, notably achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
