Mapping climate vulnerability and poverty in Africa

The work has highlighted several key points. One is that there is such heterogeneity in household access to resources, poverty levels and ability to cope that vulnerability assessments increasingly need to be done at regional and national levels rather than the continental-level analysis written up...

Identifying livestock-based risk management and coping options to reduce vulnerability to droughts in agro-pastoral and pastoral systems in East and West Africa

This project will identify intervention options at technical, policy, and institutional levels that reduce the vulnerability of livestock keepers and/or communities to climatic shocks, particularly droughts. In pastoral and agro-pastoral systems in East and West Africa, securing livestock assets is important in view of the roles they play in drought mitigation and coping strategies.

Quantifying weather and climate impacts on health in developing countries (QWeCI)

Objectives/Goals Evaluate the use and awareness of predictions and projections of atmospheric variability on timescales of weeks (weather), months to seasons up to decades (climate) for quantification of health impacts in targeted countries Develop methods to tailor, for health impacts, output from weather and climate ensemble forecasts (days, seasons to decades) and scenario driven future climate projections from regional and global climate models
