Early May, KIN invited Dutch and Mozambican researchers and practise experts to join the online round table on climate change and system transitions. Were you unable to attend and/or interested in the outcomes? Read the results of this meeting here! Find the full reflection in the attached report.
What was the round table on climate change about?
Over 20 experts from knowledge institutions, NGO’s and policy joined us to explore the most urgent problems and obstacles in climate change research that hinders the acceleration of systemic change. The main aim of the meeting was to explore opportunities to strengthen the research and knowledge system on climate change in Mozambique and the Netherlands.
Main take-aways
The discussion at the round table calls for more research/knowledge collaboration between Mozambique and The Netherlands. For both Delta countries there are mutual benefits for strengthened cooperation in fields such as food and nutrition security, integrated water management and urban climate resilience. To accelerate system transitions, we need disruptive, innovative solutions that should look at interconnections, changes and adaptive response measures. If we proceed to start in Mozambique with our first KIN Global Transitions pilot initiative (still to be decided by the KIN steering group), consultations, workshops and cocreation sessions will follow. Do you have any contacts in Mozambique who we should be in contact with? Please do let us know!
