Dr. Nana Ama Browne Klutse
Dr. Nana Ama Browne Klutse, a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Physics, University of Ghana is one of the lead authors who contributed significantly to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Assessment Report 6 (AR6). IPCC is the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change. It is the reference and authority on matters relating to climate change science and guides negotiations of parties within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
Dr. Klutse is one of the few young African climate scientists among the 200 lead authors selected worldwide to assess the Physical Science Basis. She contributed substantially to the report by leading the Africa section on the chapter ATLAS and other chapters relevant for Africa. Again, as the only African on the Task Group Data (TG-Data) team, her contributions were significant to the success of the group.
Among other scientific findings, the report indicates that Africa (and some other regions) have to brace up for more intense and unprecedented weather extremes and more adverse impacts of climate change if greenhouse gas emissions are not mitigated. These echo once again how relevant and timely climate change science research programme is for Africa.
The University is proud of Dr. Browne Klutse’s achievements.
