African Care-Climate Nexus Research Hub

The launch of the African Care-Climate Research Hub comes at a pivotal moment, when countries are grappling with an overlapping climate and care crisis. The Hub provides a dedicated platform to generate evidence, shape policy, and elevate African leadership in redefining what a just and resilient future in Africa can look like. 

The African Care-Climate Nexus Research Hub is a central point for research and advocacy that aims to deepen and expand policy interventions that seek to address the care and climate crises. This hub is led by the Southern Centre for Inequality Studies (SCIS) in partnership with the School of Animal, Plant and Environmental Sciences (APES) based in the University of Witwatersrand and the Department of Population Health in Aga Khan University in Kenya. The objective of this hub is to generate quantified evidence on the care-climate nexus, identify approaches for financing care work and facilitate knowledge sharing and collaboration between researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in East and Southern Africa through active policy engagement and community of practice development.
