The HEARTS4-C1 which stands for The First Health and Environment in Africa Research Translations and Solutions for Climate is a flagship event for the African Universities and Communities Climate Week.
The conference is aimed at identifying and bridging the gap between research findings and practical solutions in the realms of health, environment and climate action across Africa. The conference is planned to be hosted in close proximity to the most impacted communities in arid and semi-arid lands (ASAL) areas in Maasai Mara University.
This conference centers on the belief that communities who are most impacted by climate change and environmental degradation need to be meaningfully involved and appropriately centered within relevant research, discussions, actions, policymaking, planning and responses. The conference will be conducted in a rotatory manner between different countries in Africa and hosted in alternating institutions based on
their rural-urban locations. The inaugural HEARTS4Climate Conference will be held in Maasai Mara University, Kenya between 3rd to 9th August, 2025.
