April 10th, 2019, 11 am GMT time / This debate will focus on the limits to adapting to a changing climate, with a particular focus on the Sahel and East Africa. What happens when climate adaptation interventions fail, or when the challenge of climate change is simply unsurmountable? Our panelists will be Negusu Aklilu: chief if party/BRACED, Farm Africa, Ethiopia; Johanna Nalau: adaptation scientist at Griffith University, Australia, and co-editor of "Limits to Climate Change Adaptation"; Geoffrey Sabiiti: lecturer at Makerere University, Uganda; Kees van der Geest: researcher at the United Nations University.
