Africa Talks Climate (ATC) is the most extensive research conducted to date on public understanding of climate change in Africa. Fieldwork completed in 2009 convened discussions with over 1000 citizens and nearly 200 opinion leaders in ten countries across sub-Saharan Africa. Using a qualitative research approach, ATC sought to assess current attitudes and understanding and identify how media and communication can best support Africans’ response to climate change.

The findings and recommendations were presented at an international launch in Nairobi in March 2010 attended by the Right Hon Raila Odinga, Prime Minister of Kenya and Nobel Laureate Professor Wangari Maathai.
