Convening researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and partners to strengthen climate science and evidence-based decision-making across Africa.
The Rwanda Climate Science Symposium is an annual scientific platform that convenes researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and partners to strengthen the role of climate science in informing resilient development and evidence-based decision-making. Hosted in Rwanda and open to contributions from across Africa and beyond, the symposium promotes interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange on climate change mitigation, adaptation, risk assessment, and sustainable solutions.
The symposium provides a structured forum for presenting emerging research, sharing data and tools, fostering partnerships, and connecting science with policy and practice. Through plenary discussions, thematic research streams, and technical sessions, it supports the generation of actionable evidence that contributes to national, regional, and global climate priorities.
The symposium is organized as an annual series, with each edition documenting current research, facilitating dialogue, and building a sustained climate science community. Materials and outcomes from each year are archived to ensure continuity and knowledge retention.
