Climate Models: What They Show Us and How They Can Be Used in Planning
Explore this guide from the Future Climate For Africa programme which provides a primer on global climate models (GCMs) and how to use them in planning.
Near-term warming and our chances of staying within 1.5°C of global warming
Depending on how the climate system responds, greenhouse gas emissions could still cause more - or less - warming than the best estimates from the latest climate models.
Framework for needs-informed research
This paper presents a framework for needs-informed research aimed at understanding the climate processes driving the African climate system's natural variability and response to global change.
Building capacity for risk management in a changing climate
This Raising Risk Awareness (RRA) project analyses the role of climate change in affecting the hydrological regimes of Kenya, Ethiopia, India and Bangladesh.
Future Climate Projections for Tanzania
This brief provides an overview of future climate change in Tanzania, using results from the latest available climate model simulations based on 34 global climate models (CMIP-5) used by the IPCC.
How to understand and interpret global climate model results
Guide targeted at decision-makers to enable them to interpret the various plots, graphs and maps that are used to present global climate model projections.
Future Climate Projections for Malawi
This brief provides an overview of future climate change in Malawi, using results from the latest available climate model simulations based on 34 global climate models (CMIP-5) used by the IPCC.
IMPALA: Improving Model Processes For African Climate
The project aims to improve the ability of climate models to capture African climate systems, and thereby better enable decision-makers in Africa to use climate information.
Jinsha River Basin: Integrated Water Resources and Risk Management
This Sino-Swiss project aims to improve integrated water resources management, build capacity for climate change adaptation, and thereby enhance socio-economic development in the Jinsha River Basin.
Helping decision-makers make sense of climate information
This Future Climate For Africa report presents an overview of climate trends across regions of Africa & a series of climate factsheets that are tailored for specific sub-regions and countries.
Interdisciplinary Climate Research Centre Cotton College
The overarching goals of ICRC are to understand the causes and consequences of climate change, improve predictive models to project future climate conditions, and inform on-going state, national an
FCFA - Uncertainty reduction in models for understanding development applications
The UMFULA project (meaning ‘river’ in Zulu) aims to support decision-making through providing new and more reliable information about climate processes and extremes in Central and Southern Africa.
Capacity-building on Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation for District and National Environmental Officers of Bhutan

Adaptive Governance in Mountains (MOUNTAIN EVO)
This project is about how to govern mountatin ecosystems for poverty alleviation enabled by environmental virtual observatories.
Impacts on food security in Honduras
In 2011, the Government of Honduras asked IFAD (www.ifad.org) to prepare a project proposal aimed at increasing the climate resilience of agricultural production chains, protecting...
CIP Climate Graph Development
This month marks the launch of the new Climate Information Platform (CIP). In many ways the new platform has been a clean sheet redesign of many aspects of the old portal. One of the key...
ClimateCost- TPBN 7
Key Messages Extreme outcomes refer to near-catastrophic events and processes that would push the climate system into undesirable states. While highly uncertain, major discontinuities of this...
Regional climate change messages
This article provides guidance on how to build a message about changes in the regional climate (rather than the global climate).
Introduction to climate modelling
Basically, climate modelling involves converting theories of atmospheric physics, solar radiation, phase state physics, etc. into mathematical formulas that can be solved by a...
