IPCC WG1 Interactive Atlas
Explore observed and projected climate change information in this novel tool developed by the UN IPCC. Use the regional information component to generate global climate maps, and the regional synthesis tab to get qualitative information about changes in climatic impact-drivers.
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.
Climatic and Ecological Modelling for Adaptive Forest Applications online course
This online course introduces climatic and ecological modelling tools and practical applications of models in forest and ecological resource management. See learning resources and taster videos!
Climate Change Scenario Primer
This interactive primer explains what climate change scenarios are and how they are connected to socioeconomics, energy and land use, emissions, climate change and climate impacts.
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.
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.
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.
UMFULA: 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.
