Africa Centre for Climate and Earth Systems Science
We, the stewards of a most
remarkable planet, the only one known to have a glorious diversity of fauna and
flora, have become so numerous and powerful that we are now interfering with
the processes that make this a habitable planet. To be Earth's responsible
stewards we need to understand how our planet functions, have to monitor the
continually changing conditions in the air, on land and in the oceans, and have
to anticipate future climate changes. This information concerning continually
changing environmental conditions, made available to business and government
leaders, guides their activities and policies.
ACCESS offers educational
programmes that include workshops and advanced seminars, coordinates research
projects that include computer modeling of the atmosphere and ocean, makes
available operational products related to environmental conditions, and
provides information concerning future global warming.
This is done from an
African perspective which regards global warming not only as an imminent
threat that calls for adaptation and mitigation, but also as a splendid
opportunity to promote education at all levels, primary, secondary and tertiary
