The University of Cape Town’s (UCT) African Climate and Development Initiative (ACDI) is at the forefront of curriculum development for climate change and sustainable development studies in southern Africa. The ACDI, an interdisciplinary research hub focused on climate change and sustainable development, recently led a consortium of southern African universities in developing a curriculum framework at masterʼs level for courses on these two interrelated topics. Now several universities in the region are implementing this framework, developed two years ago.
