Vulnerability assessment and risk level of ecosystem services for climate change impacts and adaptation in Moroccan oases

Project details
-
Summary:
A methodology will be developed that combines strong ground- and remote sensing based data layers including climate data and socio-economic attributes to assess risk-levels of climate change (CC) potential vulnerabilities and their consequences at local and sub-regional scales for time horizons extending the next 10-15 years. Results will provide detailed adapted analysis into local to regional CC and important metrics required as input for mapping vulnerability and risk based on changes in surface energy, carbon and water balances in large regions of Southern Morocco.
Expected Outputs:
Analyze ecosystem vulnerabilities using remote sensing observations, climate data and socio-economic attributes to develop results of clear value for integrated assessments of global change impacts in the subtropical ranges of the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Derive realistic site-to-region-specific climate change outcome scenarios based on projections from the IPCC Fourth Assessment (IPCC, 2007). These climate changes outcome scenarios will include guidelines derived from current understanding of uncertainties in the climate projections and will be adapted to observed historical regional climate indicators. This will allow vulnerability assessments based on probability and guidelines following international standards. Derive region-specific vulnerability assessment with risk level maps to climate change for selected major ecosystem services such as land use and cover change, water resources and surface fresh water availability, agricultural production, forest cover and carbon sequestration, nature-based tourism.

Summary:
\Ghanaian slum dwellers have been heavily affected by climate change through growing risks of flooding, erosion, malnutrition, the declining availability of water. This project will educate slum residents on issues around climate change impacts, its mitigation, adaptation and management. It will also promote effective environmental management practices within slum communities.
