Ndoni Mcunu Annual Lecture on African Climate Change
The Ndoni Mcunu Annual Lecture on African Climate Change is a flagship convening that brings together leading voices across science, policy, and innovation to advance Africa’s response to the climate crisis.
Hosted by Black Women in Science (BWIS), this annual platform honours the legacy of Ndoni Mcunu by creating space for bold, forward-looking dialogue that bridges research, policy, and real-world implementation.
