Mozambique

Dr. Izidine Pinto, an author for the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, conducted a seminar at Eduardo Mondlane University in Quelimane, Mozambique, in March 2020. He used local examples, such as the impacts on Quirimbas National Park and the Primeiras and Segundas Archipelago, to make global climate science resonate with students. The session included discussions on the consequences of Tropical Cyclone Idai and the temporary improvement of air quality during the COVID-19 pandemic due to reduced industrial and transport activity.

• Dr. Izidine Pinto used local stories and regional case studies, specifically mentioning Quirimbas National Park and the Primeiras and Segundas Archipelago, to help students understand how climate change affects their immediate environment and the potential for more dramatic changes without adaptation and mitigation.
• The use of localized examples encouraged students to share personal experiences and led to a detailed discussion regarding the impacts of Tropical Cyclone Idai in Mozambique.
• The seminar highlighted the link between the COVID-19 pandemic's industrial halt and improved air quality to illustrate the immediate benefits of reducing fossil fuel use.
