The project has been made possible by the Royal Danish Embassy, the United Nations Development Programme, the South African Wind Energy Programme and the South African… Read more »
CSAG has been contracted to provide a comprehensive report detailing climate change projections for the city of Johannesburg with a particular focus on storm water management, a critical issue for a city vulnerable to urban flooding. The report will be based on station scale, statistically downscaled, projections of future climate change. The statistical downscaling will… Read more »
CSAG has been contracted to contribute towards a comprehensive report on climate vulnerability and adaptation strategy for the city of Cape Town in South Africa. CSAG will provide downscaled projections of key variables and parameters at spatial scales relevant to the city. GCM based circulation and process based information will also be incorporated in order… Read more »
