Project ID 513SAF2003

The severe impacts of droughts in South Africa over the last decade highlight the vulnerability of the country to water scarcity, which is expected to worsen as a result of climate change. The project addresses this challenge by introducing a novel bottom-up approach to climate change adaptation, providing an adequate planning pathway for decision making at the local, regional and national level. In combination with adequate monitoring and early warning tools, climate informed decision-making is significantly facilitated. Targeted training and technology transfer will further enable the development of effective ecosystem-based adaptation strategies, with active community participation.
