FRACTAL Principles
Throughout the FRACTAL project, the team determined several lessons for research and society, particularly with regard to working towards inclusive, contextual, and proactive climate research and action. Engage with the principles that underpinned the climate resilience work in the project.
Building Climate Resilience in Africa Through Research and Development
This article provides an evaluation of the Future Climate for Africa programme (2015-2021), which has brought together more than 200 researchers from over 20 countries to improve understanding of climate variability and change across Africa.
CSAG Climate Frontiers Podcast Series
Listen to this series of podcasts hosted by the Climate Systems Analysis Group (CSAG) at the University of Cape Town. These are conversations between researchers and partners across Africa and globally, covering a range of topics from climate science to social science and philosophy.
Co-producing climate information for Windhoek decision making
This working paper provides an overview of a project that sought to co-produce, communicate and share climate change information to improve decision-making processes for adaptation in Windhoek, Namibia.
Enabling Climate Science Use to Better Support Resilience and Adaptation Practice
This report reviews the use of climate science in adaptation and resilience practice. It was commissioned by the UK government to inform the development of a new programme.
Climate Risk in Africa: Adaptation and Resilience
This book highlights the complexities around making adaptation decisions and building resilience in the face of climate risk, using insights from sub-Saharan Africa.
Co-designing climate services to support adaptation to natural hazards: a case study from Karlstad, Sweden
This case study describes how the co-design of climate services helped support adaptation to multiple water hazards in the municipality of Karlstad, Sweden.
Co-designing climate services to support adaptation to natural hazards: a case study from Stockholm, Sweden
This case study describes how the co-design of climate services helped support adaptation to heat waves in Stockholm, Sweden
Co-designing climate services to support adaptation to natural hazards
Drawing on two Swedish case studies, this brief aims to understand how the co-design of climate services can support adaptation planning and decision-making.
FRACTAL Learning - Adaptation Inspiration Theme Module 1-6 Summary
This is a summary article signposting the FRACTAL Learning modules 1-6 on inspirational adaptation cases in Africa.
Ten ways to support climate change adaptation planning and decision-making
This brief, developed by researchers and facilitators working with municipal governments, provides targeted recommendations for co-designing actionable and user-focused climate services.
Co-exploratory climate risk workshops
The paper describes a place-based co-exploratory analysis of climate risks.
The Story of Water in Windhoek
The aim of the paper is to present a story about the 2015 to early 2017 Windhoek drought in the context of climate change while using the narrative approach.

This briefing note provides reflections on city government-research partnerships, from Cape Town and Johannesburg.
Climate narratives
This briefing note provides reflections on the climate risk narrative process: What have we tried? What have we learned? What does this mean for us going forward?
Transdisciplinarity, co-production, and co-exploration
This working paper presents the concepts of transdisciplinarity, knowledge co-production, and coexploration and their challenges, and how they are being operationalised in FRACTAL.
Learning within & about climate science
This briefing note provides key discussion points on the role of learning in integrating climate science into decision making.
Climate Information Distillation
This briefing note presents a distillation framework: an attempt to re-think how we go about constructing information to inform decisions.
