The Centre for Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation (CCCAM) is an inter-faculty initiative established to provide a platform for training and interdisciplinary research on opportunities for climate change adaptation and mitigation in the Eastern Africa region.
Innovation & Tech
Besides, the Centre is a hub for development and promotion of technologies and innovations that support climate change adaptation amongst communities that are most vulnerable to climate shocks.
With such technologies and innovations, the Centre aims to support development of policies, legislations, strategies and plans on climate change adaptation and mitigation through participatory approaches.
Primary Focus
To build human capacity that can support communities which are most vulnerable to climate change so as to build resilience and enhance their adaptability.
Strategic Objectives
Our Pillars of Action
OBJECTIVE 01
To co-develop and promote technologies and innovations that support climate change adaptation and mitigation, embracing equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI).
OBJECTIVE 02
To support development of policies, legislations, strategies and plans on climate change adaptation and mitigation through participatory approaches.
OBJECTIVE 03
To enhance adaptive capacity of vulnerable communities (including both hardware and software capacities).
OBJECTIVE 04
To establish/strengthen a learning alliance or community of practice on climate change adaptation and mitigation for weather-based advisories.
OBJECTIVE 05
To stimulate the emergence of transformative leadership in climate change ecosystem through targeted mentorships and empowerment.
Capacity Building
Specialized Training Courses
To help in facilitating a faster transition to a more climate-resilient future, the Centre develops and runs various courses to train young practitioners at the community level, policy regulators and media professionals.
