Over the recent years, Mozambique and Zimbabwe have been experiencing an increased frequency, duration and intensity of natural disasters and extreme weather events such as landslides, floods, tropical cyclones and droughts. Climate change will only exacerbate the situation.

There is a lack of georeferenced information dealing with future climate projections and natural hazards that covers a large region with sufficiently high spatial and temporal resolution. This information is needed to optimally design climate adaptation measures risk mitigation actions.
