Why is Africa’s climate research struggling? || Prof. Benjamin Lamptey

Prof. Benjamin Lamptey is a meteorological (weather and climate) modeller with expertise in Database Management. He has been vital in developing Africa’s climate science research and operations. In fact, he was a lead author of the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) AR6 WG1. In September 2013, he joined the African Centre of Meteorological Applications for Development (ACMAD) in Niamey, Niger, as the Deputy Director-General (DDG). From 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2018, he became the Acting Director General of ACMAD cumulatively with the DDG position before joining the University of Leeds, UK, as a Cheney Fellow in 2019. Prior to joining ACMAD, he was the Acting Head of the Nautical Science Department and Acting Dean of the School of Graduate Studies at the Regional Maritime University in Accra, Ghana. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado, USA, from 2005 to 2007 after obtaining his doctorate degree in Geosciences (with a minor in High-Performance Computing) from the Pennsylvania State University. He also holds Master's degrees in Meteorology (Penn State) and Applied and Agricultural Meteorology (the University of Reading. UK) and a Postgraduate Diploma in Computing and Information Systems (UK).

He started his meteorology career as a Weather Forecaster at the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet), having been trained at the UK Meteorological Office College in Shinfield Park, Reading. And later became the Head of the Climatology Division. He serves on several International Committees and is Guest/Associate Editor of a number of Journals and lectures part-time in the Graduate programs of the West African Science Service Centre for Climate Change and Adapted Land Use (WASCAL), African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) and the Pan African University for Water and Energy Science (PAUWES). His current passion is in the transition from research to operations.

Season V: We are back

Welcome to Season V of the Green Living Chats podcast.

In nature, all species live such that their resources and by-product form part of and nourish nature's regenerative ecosystem - there is nothing like waste. However, humans have created a different ecosystem for ourselves that has, for years, breached nature's rules of "No waste allowed" and instead potentially offset nature's cycles. Our footprint on earth hasn't been much more evident than it is today - "Human-induced climate change is already affecting many weather and climate extremes in every region across the globe – with widespread loss and damage to both nature and people" - IPCC 2023.

In response, we are actively embracing renewable energies, setting carbon-neutral targets, adopting circular and regenerative economies, and striving for sustainability to reduce our environmental footprint. All stakeholders approach these solutions from their unique perspectives, as there is no single "standard" for sustainable practices. If nature were a business partner, which solutions would she invest in?

Our theme for Season V is "Sustainable Solutions" - Join us on every episode as we explore global solutions in water, air, land, biodiversity and different ecosystems.
