Future Climate for Africa (FCFA) Information

Future Climate For Africa (FCFA) is a research and development programme, jointly funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), that has been enhancing scientific knowledge and prediction of African climate and ensuring this has an impact on development. Future Climate for Africa is: -> Improving scientific understanding of climate variability and change across Africa and the impact of climate change on specific development decisions; -> Ensuring that decision-makers are able to incorporate relevant climate information when making key decisions on medium to long-term (5-40 year) climate resilient planning and investments
 -> Funding new scientific research while helping grow future generations of African scientists FCFA consists of 5 research teams: - IMPALA (Improving Model Processes for African Climate) - AMMA-2050 (African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis 2050) - FRACTAL (Future Resilience for African Cities and Lands) - HyCRISTAL (Integrating Hydro-climate science into policy decisions for climate-resilient infrastructure and livelihoods in East Africa) - UMFULA (Uncertainty reduction in Models for Understanding Development Applications)
