Alliance for Science Ghana

Join us for the international Symposium on Agricultural Transformation and Biotech Crops in Africa. 📅 - 2nd June 2023 ⏱️ - 9am GMT We will deliberate on how to expand access to innovative technologies for #smallholder farmers Live stream link 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=kMGKvv…;

I recently read an article in @thenation Magazine that falsely claimed the passage of Ghana's 2020 Plant Variety Protection Act means farmers who save their seeds for replanting could face a 15-year jail term. Nothing could be further from the truth (1/3).

The nexus between genome editing and climate action is no spraying, meaning safer soils, and minimized use of machines, hence less production costs. This leaves farmers with more money. Dr Roy Mugiira @BiosafetyKenya #ClimateActionZone @Climate_ActionZ @ScienceAlly

Day 3 of #ClimateActionNow amazing conversation on applications that adapt to climate change. #Relief2Reslience

Launch of Climate Misinformation Report: Latest study on misinformation with a focus on climate information in worldwide mainstream media. We analyzed over three hundred thousand (300,000) climate-related news stories over a six-month period. #Misinformation #ClimateActionZone

"Leveraging data for climate action, we will ensure Carbon credit calculation is more effective per area or region". Dr. Claire Melamed, Global Partnership For Sustainable Data #ClimateActionZone

“In the 10 years of the current administration, we pledged to plan over 15 billion trees to be tracked through data technology systems that will also analyze how the trees are nurtured and cared for” P.S Korir #ClimateActionZone

Last year 7.4 million people were internally displaced because of climate-related issues. Displacement is not fun. It messes up health, education, housing, access to food and water, plus more. @ThandieMwape speaking at the #ClimateActionZone #Relief2Resilience

Panel Session: How cultural and agricultural innovations can help farming communities move away from food scarcity and the need for repeated interventions by food and disaster relief agencies, toward the adoption of agricultural and cultural innovations #ClimateActionZone

An Africa fit for Children - Securing the voices of children in the Climate change discourse #AfricaChildrenClimateSummit #ClimateActionZone

Day one of the Climate Action Zone in Nairobi has featured at least 100 farmers from across the Global South. @ArifHussein from Bangladesh has shown the link between science, technology, and religion in addressing hunger and poverty amid climate challenges. #ClimateActionZone

John Kalisa, East African Business Council CEO says partnership for building resilience and economic recovery needs all voices. For ESG sustainability, we need clarity on stakeholder management to help uplift communities and economies. #climateactionzone Photo by @Manyarakinoti

Nairobi Governor @SakajaJohnson emphasizes the need to refocus the climate change narrative. He pushed for practicable climate solutions for Africa, rather than hype that only benefits the Global North. #ClimateActionZone

For Dr John Chumo, CEO of Mama Doing Good #climateaction discussion has been there for so long. It is time to ask ourselves what exactly we can do. #SDGs #ClimateActionZone #Relief2Resilience @OfficialKGBS @pthigo @TalkAfrica1 @HomeboyzRadio

This event within the Summit brings together key players from across Africa, including Green Building Councils, industry leaders, and stakeholders committed to positively impacting our continent. #climateactionzone #SDGs #Relief2Resilience @OfficialKGBS @pthigo

Thanks to Prof. @EY_Danquah and the team at @wacci_gh for hosting our President and Founder @KMonjero and for your commitment to help promote #STEM education among young people.

This week, Kenyan founder of @FegneGlobe Kenneth Monjero & Alliance for Science Ghana volunteers met @elsie_effah, Dean, School of Engineering Sciences, @UnivofGh. We discussed how science-fun shows can be used to promote #STEM education among Ghanaian students. Thank you, Prof.

On Thursday, a team from Alliance for Science Ghana & @FegneGlobe paid a courtesy call on the director of @wacci_gh at @UnivofGh @EY_Danquah. We discussed how to promote #STEM careers among Ghanaian students using science-fun shows. @josephopoku1990 @dennisgameplay @ScienceAlly

Their core objectives include building resilience in learners across STEM and Arts disciplines and equipping young learners with 21st Century problem-solving skills. #WACCI
