This workshop was intended for trainers and institutions working in French-speaking Africa. The theme of climate change was addressed with special emphasis on the ocean and cryosphere. Taking into account the context of climate change in Africa (especially in North Africa), the themes of agriculture and adaptation and mitigation were also addressed.

The workshop took place at the Centre International de Formation des Formateurs et D'Innovation Pédagogique in Carthage (CIFFIP), Tunisia, from 21 to 25 January 2019. It was organized with the operational support of ESPRIT and the participation of a local scientist mobilized by IRD.
