Making Climate Change Jargon More Accessible

An issue as important as climate change needs to be accessible. However, climate change is an intricate topic with complex terminology that sits at the intersection of science, politics and society. To remove the obstacle of jargon, APRI - the Africa Policy Research Institute - has compiled a list of terms and explanations often used in the climate change space. By providing clarity on the terminology surrounding climate change, as well as climate change negotiations, we hope it will be easier for people to engage and take action. Enjoy the read and stay tuned for more.
