5th EGU Alexander von Humboldt International Conference | African Climate Change Conference

Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa

"Iphakade" is isiXhosa (a South African indigenous language) for "observe the present and consider the past to ponder the future".  We consider this a particularly apt word to describe the intent of this 5th EGU Alexander von Humboldt International Conference which is to consider climate change in an Earth Systems context with a particular focus on Africa.

Humans have started to significantly alter earth's natural systems and disturb their balances and there is an urgent need of deeper understanding of the system process and response to help reduce uncertainty and inform adaptation and mitigation options. Across Africa, communication systems, infrastructure, and management of natural resources must adapt to an environment that will be affected by changing sea levels, land management, magnetic fields, and climate system dynamics.
