About PACC Policy
Rooted in Africa and connected with Canada, we bring policy, knowledge and people together to advance climate resilience.
Who we are
The Pan African Centre for Climate Policy (PACC Policy) works to strengthen climate action through research, learning and effective governance. We connect communities, educators, organisations and decision-makers, drawing on local knowledge to shape practical responses.
Our work spans Africa and Canada. Across both contexts, we support community voices, build partnerships and help translate climate priorities into action that is locally relevant and connected to wider policy frameworks.
Read our mission and visionOur roots · COP21 · December 2015
When 195 countries adopted the Paris Agreement at COP21, they set a shared course to limit global warming to well below 2°C. PACC Policy was formed in response to that policy direction, with a commitment to help turn the agreement’s goals into meaningful action.
That founding purpose continues to guide our work: connecting evidence, partnerships and public engagement so climate commitments can make a difference in people’s lives.

Our approach
We work with community-based organisations, governments, NGOs, environmental rights groups, private practitioners and planners to identify priorities and shape adaptive responses.
Because climate change touches health, livelihoods, culture, housing, agriculture and development, we centre community experience and connect local action with wider policy frameworks.
