Impacts of climate change on water resources in southern Africa: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential impacts of climate change on water resources in southern Africa are reviewed, highlighting studies on detected climate changes particularly focusing on temperature and rainfall, and respective studies on hydrological responses to climate change are examined.

Climate Change Adaptation through the Water-Energy-Food Nexus in Southern Africa
Sylvester Mpandeli,Dhesigen Naidoo,Tafadzwanashe Mabhaudhi,Charles Nhemachena,Luxon Nhamo,Stanley Liphadzi,Sithabile Hlahla,Albert T. Modi +7 more
TL;DR: This review highlights climate change impacts on water, energy, and food resources in southern Africa, while exploring mitigation and adaptation opportunities, and recommends strategies to develop cross-sectoral sustainable measures aimed at building resilient communities.

Climate change adaptation and cross-sectoral policy coherence in southern Africa.
Matthew I. England,Andrew J. Dougill,Lindsay C. Stringer,Katharine Vincent,Joanna Pardoe,Felix Kanungwe Kalaba,David D. Mkwambisi,Emilinah Namaganda,Stavros Afionis +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the extent of coherence in national policies across the water and agriculture sectors and to climate change adaptation goals outlined in national development plans is investigated using Qualitative Document Analysis of relevant policies and plans, combined with expert interviews from non-government actors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The potential value of seasonal forecasts in a changing climate in southern Africa
Hessel Winsemius,Emanuel Dutra,Francois Engelbrecht,Francois Engelbrecht,E. Archer Van Garderen,E. Archer Van Garderen,Fredrik Wetterhall,Florian Pappenberger,M. G. F. Werner +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated how the frequency of extreme events may change in the future due to climate change over southern Africa and, in more detail, the Limpopo Basin using a set of climate change projections from several regional climate model downscalings based on an extreme climate scenario.

Consensus between GCM climate change projections with empirical downscaling: precipitation downscaling over South Africa
Bruce Hewitson,Robert G. Crane +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a self-organizing map (SOM) is used to characterize the state of the atmosphere on a localized domain surrounding each target location on the basis of NCEP 6-hourly reanalysis data from 1979 to 2002, and using surface and 700-hPa u and v wind vectors, specific and relative humidities, and surface temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of the Conformal-Cubic Atmospheric Model projected climate-change signal over southern Africa
TL;DR: In this article, the projected climate change signal in simulations by the Conformal-Cubic Atmospheric Model (CCAM) over southern Africa is presented, with particular emphasis on the projected changes in circulation over the region.
Journal ArticleDOI
