Pioneering climate change curricula in southern Africa A CDKN-funded master's curriculum development project has taken off in southern Africa and is now being implemented by several universities in the region.

Building capacity for innovation, collaboration and change in higher education Leigh Cobban and Leslie Ashburner of the University of Cape Town review the process of developing a Masters curriculum in climate change - and the opportunities for regional collaboration on education in southern Africa.

Climate change curriculum – one step closer to harmonisation While the potential of regional cooperation to develop and strengthen Africa’s higher education sector has long been recognised on paper, progress towards its actualisation has been slow. Against this backdrop, the introduction next year of a Southern Africa masters curriculum in climate change and development represents an important test case for future academic harmonisation.

Lessons learned from developing a climate master’s programme How did 23 academics from six universities across five countries develop a master's curriculum in climate change within twelve months? We look at the lessons learned from this ambitious task.
