Anticipatory Climate Adaptation for Communities in Africa (ACACIA)

Summary

ACACIA aims to enhance the resilience of at-risk communities in Sub-Saharan Africa to climate impacts, particularly from floods and tropical cyclones, by improving the ways climate services are produced, communicated and used for making short-term and long-term decisions.

Objectives

ACACIA is a research project funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe programme. It represents an ambitious interdisciplinary alliance to enhance the resilience of at-risk communities in Sub-Saharan Africa to climate impacts. Focusing on floods in the Greater Horn of Africa and floods and tropical cyclones in Madagascar, we seek to improve the ways climate services are produced, disseminated and used for making short-term and long-term decisions to diminish climate risk.
