NetCDA Project Partner HAW Hamburg is pleased to invite you to participate in the 5th African Symposium on Climate Change Adaptation, which will take place on 18–19 February 2027 at Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
As Africa continues to experience disproportionate impacts from climate change despite contributing less than 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions, the symposium will provide an important platform for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, NGOs, students, and private sector representatives to exchange knowledge, showcase innovative adaptation solutions, and foster international collaboration.
Researchers are invited to submit 200–300-word abstracts describing original conceptual or empirical research for oral or poster presentations.

- Abstract submission: 31 October 2026
- Registration: 20 November 2026
- Symposium: 18–19 February 2027
- Optional book chapter submission: 30 March 2027
