This poster provides at-a-glance information denoting conditions in each of 11 Southern African countries (South Africa, Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe), and illustrates initiatives un
Rural communities in the Niger Delta are highly vulnerable to climate-related disasters, which also makes them effective incubators of community-based adaptation strategies.
Precipitations in tropical Africa are highly convective. Therefore, knowledge of the diurnal cycle of convective processes enhances understanding and prediction of rainfall patterns.
Local perturbations such as terrain, land cover, and land-water boundary often exert a strong influence on the local climate and create eco-climatic structures or complexes that can support the natural resource capita on which livelihoods depend.
The perceptions of institutions and stakeholders affected by the implementation of REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) are investigated in this paper.
This paper outlines research in the area of water and energy supply in Southern African countries: South Africa, Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe.
National development plans focus upon energy and water separately, often not integrating the other sector’s resource use. This contributes to programme failures in the long run.
Tourism is the main economic sector in many small island states (SIDS).
Research on climate change and its impact on the vulnerable is fairly well developed in Southern Africa. The transfer of knowledge from scientists to policymakers, however, remains weak.
This project aims to reduce the vulnerability of rural-urban systems in Nigeria to climate change by sharing the results generated from a pilot project conducted in and around the city of Aba, Southeastern Nigeria.
