Royal Society APEX Award - Foreseeing Management of Emerging Unprecedented Hydroclimatic Extremes to Embrace Resilience in Sub-Saharan African Communities
REFNo: NS1150ES
To develop a comprehensive and transferable framework for the robust assessment and management of future hydroclimatic risks across SSA, integrating regional climate science, socio-ecological equity considerations, and long-term decision-making, using Uganda as a demonstrative case study.
The research has three specific objectives (SO):
[SO1] To model regional climate changes across Sub-Saharan Africa and identify plausible but unprecedented hydroclimatic extremes likely to emerge during the 21st century, with focused high-resolution climate risk assessment analysis for Uganda.
[SO2] To co-identify socio-ecologically equitable adaptation priorities with Ugandan stakeholders, and to compare these insights with SSA-wide patterns captured through an online survey, thereby informing broader NbS planning frameworks.
[SO3] To co-develop and evaluate long-term decision-making approaches that evaluate whether NbS benefits can be sustained in Uganda in the face of emerging unprecedented floods and droughts, with scalable implications for SSA
