This document details a comprehensive programme of action for the Nairobi Convention to address its Climate Change Strategy developed in 2015.
This study assesses the impacts of climate change on water resources over Mbarali River sub-catchment using high resolution climate simulations from the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment Regional Climate Models (CORDEX_RCMs).
Climate variability and change are among the biggest challenges of the 21st century. Like in many other areas globally, the coastal communities of Tanzania have always been facing climatic varia- bility at various time scales. Using focus group discussion and a household survey, this study ana- lyzes the perceptions of climate variability and change and the strategies for coping and adapta- tion by the selected coastal rural and peri-urban communities in Tanzania.

Preamble
Corals as organisms and coral reefs as structures and ecosystems have fascinated scientists for centuries. Charles Darwin became well-known among natural scientists long before the publication of The Origin of Species, partly because of his studies of coral reefs and coral islands.
This Toolkit for Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment (CCVA) of near-shore marine social-ecological systems in the Western Indian Ocean represents a set of guidelines and instructions for undertaking CCVA on coastal social and ecological systems, focused on mangrove, coral reef and seagrass ecosystems in the Western Indian Ocean region (WIO). The Toolkit comprises a background on climate change and climate change vulnerability, including conceptual and analytical vulnerability assessment frameworks.
