Abstract submission - a big success

Nowhere in the world are the impacts of climate change felt more than in the Global South.  And, for the first time, WCRP is holding its Open Science Conference in Africa to further develop mutual understanding and explore opportunities and challenges of the continent.  Of the more than 1700 abstracts submitted to the 40 parallel sessions and 44 poster clusters, one third are from researchers and practitioners working in Africa and almost half are from the Global South.  Abstract review is underway and announcements about abstract acceptances and travel funding will be sent over the coming weeks.
