Africa is especially vulnerable to the deleterious effects of climate change. Unless there is a significant shift in current trends, many African countries are likely to continue facing extreme weather events that will threaten their food security, water resources, human health, and biodiversity. Consequently, there is a pressing need to ensure that climate change mitigation strategies (strategies to reduce carbon emissions) and climate change adaptation strategies (strategies to circumvent the deleterious effects of climate change) are rolled out across all courses at African universities. Universities serve as both knowledge hubs and vehicles for societal change. However, African universities have traditionally adopted a Eurocentric approach to education that delegitimises Indigenous knowledge and reinforces colonial narratives. To overcome these historical shortcomings, African universities must engage with local populations and leverage Indigenous knowledge systems to co-create place-based climate solutions that provide transformative change for all. In this chapter, we call for African universities to reposition their orientation by reconsidering their conceptualisation of climate change education.
