Beyond the Floods: Scenario Planning for Climate Mobility in Mukuru
What happens when communities stop asking what went wrong and begin asking what could happen next? In Mukuru, where flooding increasingly shapes how people move, stay, and rebuild their lives, researchers, residents, and government officials came together to imagine multiple possible futures rather than simply document past disasters.
Women in Research in Africa: Shaping Questions, Shaping Evidence
Across sub-Saharan Africa, shifts in research practice are emerging that place greater emphasis on context. Women researchers are frequently at the forefront of these shifts, shaped in part by the conditions under which they work. They are less embedded in well-resourced, standardised research pipelines and more engaged in interface roles between research, practice, and communities. This positioning requires adapting approaches to resource-constrained, dynamic, and often informal systems.
When Carbon Projects Leave Communities Behind: Reflections from the Laikipia Climate Talks
In April 2026, some of our team members attended the Laikipia Climate Talks, which were held at the Il Ngwesi cultural boma. The forum brought together government representatives, civil society, technical experts and local community members for an engaging conversation about what carbon projects are/ and are not delivering for communities in Kenya.

Is my bed raised high enough? Did I remember to put the important documents in the backpack? Will I be out of work by the time it starts to pour?
Beyond Trees: Why Enhanced Rock Weathering Could Reshape Africa’s Carbon Future
In nature, silicate rocks such as basalt slowly react with CO₂ and water, converting carbon into stable carbonate minerals or dissolved bicarbonates over long time scales. Enhanced Rock Withering (ERW) speeds up this reaction by mining suitable silicate rocks, grinding them into fine particles to increase surface area, and applying them to agricultural soils.
After COP30: What’s next for the local community?
As COP 30 came to an end in Belem, Brazil, on 22nd November 2025, one of the critical questions people ask themselves is what’s next for the local community. This year’s COP, termed the “Implementation COP,” clearly indicates that the world is now cognizant that all ambitions must be matched with implementation.
