🔬 Research Spotlight: "Climate justice begins with understanding the structures that shape inequality." - Fadzai Chipato (@zvino)
How do local experiences of displacement connect to the global architecture of climate finance?
During her fellowship at the Academy of International Affairs NRW, Fadzai Chipato explores this question. Building on her research on development-induced displacement and carbon offset schemes in Zimbabwe, she examines how structural inequalities in international climate finance shape trust, accountability, and cooperation between developed countries and Sub-Saharan Africa.
"The fellowship gives me the opportunity to extend my research from the local and national level to the regional and global, examining how the structural asymmetries I observed on the ground connect to the broader architecture of international climate finance."
Fadzai has also found Bonn to be a welcoming place for research:
"Bonn is a wonderfully friendly and intellectually stimulating city. The AIA NRW community has been supportive, well-connected, and has helped make my research visible beyond academic spaces."
We're delighted to have Fadzai in our fellowship community and look forward to the contributions her research will make to debates on climate justice and equitable climate governance.
