The West African Science
Service Centre on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use (WASCAL) Governing Board
has reviewed institutional progress and discussed strategic priorities for 2027
during its 2026 Ordinary Session in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire.
The discussions focused on
climate resilience, clean energy and sustainable development, with particular
emphasis on renewable energy and green hydrogen.
As WASCAL’s second-highest
decision-making body after its Council of Ministers, the Governing Board
considered advancing climate change solutions through capacity building,
research and innovation, and climate and environmental services.
These priority areas reflect
WASCAL’s continued commitment to strengthening scientific capacity, promoting
clean energy solutions, and advancing climate resilience and sustainable
development across West Africa.
