Le contexte est important et sans clarté sur les impacts que les approches modifiant le climat auront de différents points de vue, il sera difficile de traiter les dimensions éthiques et de gouvernance, a déclaré Youba Sokona lors d'une interview à "C2GTalk". Il souligne la nécessité de mener des recherches qui ne se limitent pas au niveau mondial, mais qui cherchent à comprendre les niveaux national et local, où la vie des gens est affectée.

Context matters and without clarity on the impacts that climate-altering approaches will have from different perspectives, it will be difficult to deal with the ethical and governance dimensions, said Youba Sokona during a C2GTalk interview. He highlights the need for research that not only considers the global level, but seeks to understand the national and local levels where people’s lives are impacted.
Sokona has over 40 years of experience addressing energy, environment, and sustainable development in Africa and has been at the heart of numerous national and continental initiatives. Professor Sokona was elected vice chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in October 2015. Prior to this, he was co-chair of the IPCC Working Group III on the mitigation of climate change for the Fifth Assessment Report after serving as a lead author since 1990. In addition to these achievements, Professor Sokona has a proven track record of organizational leadership and management, for example, as inaugural coordinator of the African Climate Policy Center and as executive secretary of the Sahara and Sahel Observatory.
