The Climate Sense Program (CSP) has recently been designed for purposes of creating a common platform for Africa to be able to translate complex climate change issues in ways that promote dialogue at all levels of African society and globally. This program is also geared towards providing coordinated evidence based advocacy strategy for climate proofing development policies in African countries, and improving Africa\u2019s participation and negotiation skills at global conventions such as the CoP 15 and beyond.<\/p>

ATPS seek to promote CSP through\u00a0 targeted partnerships within the quadruple helix (Researchers, Private Sector Actors, Policy Makers and Civil Society) across the African countries and internationally. This will be focused on four integrated goals:<\/p>

  1. Making Sense of Climate Science through science communication.<\/li>
  2. Making Sense of Climate Economics through policy analysis.<\/li>
  3. Making Sense of Climate Innovation through Investment Portfolio Analysis and Innovation Incubation Programs.<\/li>
  4. Making Sense of Climate Change Policies through scenarios analysis and training programs.<\/li><\/ol>
