(Business in Cameroon) - Sud Cam, a rubber producer in Cameroon, partnered with the National Observatory of Climate Change (Onacc) to obtain data on climate change developments in the southern region where the company primarily operates.

The deal, which was reached on May 5 in Yaoundé, aims to enable Sud Cam to adjust its operations to the impact of climate change. The company seeks, through this collaboration, to stay ahead of climate change challenges and ensure its sustainability in the long term.
