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.

A framework for co-designing “transdisciplinary knowledge integration processes”
This paper seeks to reconceptualize climate services in light of the prevailing inability of existing climate information to spur needed policy and action. It focusses on the transdisciplinary knowledge co-production process rather than the output of a climate services product.
Co-exploratory climate risk workshops
The paper describes a place-based co-exploratory analysis of climate risks.
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.
City government-research partnerships
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.
Climate Adaptation Services
Climate Adaptation Services (CAS) specializes in combining information about climate change with innovative communication and visualization techniques including story maps, apps and websites.
ProSus #3: Building resilience in southern African cities
The third issue of START’s ProSus Magazine features reflections, research and stories from the Future Resilience for African Cities and Lands (FRACTAL) program.
Future Climate for Africa
Future Climate for Africa (FCFA) aims to generate fundamentally new climate science focused on Africa, and to ensure that this science has an impact on human development across the continent.
Global warming of 1.5°C and higher brings profound challenges to semi-arid regions
This page collects together key messages and outputs from the ASSAR project relevant to global warming of 1.5°C and higher.
Climate Change Scenario Primer
