The collaboration between researchers in Africa and the University of Cambridge on climate resilience and sustainability will not only drive important research but also build a lasting network of expertise across continents. The flexibility in the types of research—from sciences to humanities and arts—opens the door for diverse and innovative approaches to tackling climate issues.

The Research Catalyst Grant and Workshop Grant are great starting points for researchers looking to make an impact. It’s exciting that the preliminary results from these grants could potentially lead to larger, more significant funding. Given the £7.7 million investment and the multi-year support from the Mastercard Foundation, this research fund could really shape the future of climate research and sustainability efforts.
