Spotlight on Our Research: Climate and Health Africa Conference 2024

At the Climate and Health Africa Conference 2024 (CHAC2024) in Harare, Zimbabwe, our team joined global leaders and experts in tackling the urgent intersection of climate change and public health. We were honoured to contribute to this movement, sharing insights on the role of nutrition in building a healthier, more sustainable future for Africa.

Our team members, Pierrette Nhlapo RD and Dr. Nanine Wyma, presented a poster highlighting the importance of integrating plant-based approaches into Africa’s food-based dietary guidelines. Our team also delivered a talk on how dietary guidelines can serve as policies for healthier, sustainable, and culturally inclusive diets across the continent.
