Advancing Climate Science for a Sustainable Future

The 2^nd Open Science Conference of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) took place in Kigali, Rwanda,  at the Kigali Convention Centre (KCC), from 23 to 27 October 2023, hosted by the Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA) on behalf of the Government of Rwanda. Meeting in the heart of the African continent has promoted strong engagement with research communities, stakeholders and practitioners from Rwanda and the broader African region.

This once-in-a-decade conference brought together the climate, environment, and related communities to discuss the latest developments in climate science and explore the transformative actions urgently needed to ensure a sustainable future. Taking place at a critical moment in Earth’s history, the outcome of all conference sessions will culminate with the “Kigali Declaration” – a conference statement that will be submitted to the 28^th Conference of the Parties (COP28) taking place in the United Arab Emirates immediately after the Conference.

The Conference  has highlighted advances and challenges in research on the coupled Earth System. Major themes across the conference included advances in climate research, human interactions with climate, and co-produced climate services and solutions. The conference included over 40 oral and poster sessions, as well as high-level Dome Plenary Sessions every morning.
