The WCRP Regional Information for Society (RIfS) Core Project is launching an Africa Task Team for researchers living and working in Africa to define and address their regionally-specific challenges on climate information for society. The Task Team will become a body of the RIfS representing the regional interests of Africa. It will facilitate and steer this work in Africa, and be a model for how RIfS might organize similar activities in other regions of the world.
For more information and to nominate someone (including self-nomination), deadline 15 March 2025 - 17:00 UTC, please visit the RIfs Africa Task Team web page.
RIfS is also looking for a Science Officer, based in Africa, to coordinate activities with regional foci in Africa. This key coordination role requires someone with a working knowledge about physical climate science, and comfortable with engaging a wide range of disciplines, individuals, projects, and organizations across the continent already active in relevant work. The goal of the Science Officer is to serve as the connecting glue for various communities of practice that touch on producing robust information for decisions in the face of climate change.
