Assessment of Integrated Water Resources Management and Environmental Services for Water Users in the Massili Basin (Burkina Faso, West Africa)
Since the 1970s, the Sudano-Sahelian zone has been characterized by climate change, which has intensified pressure on existing water resources and exacerbated water quality problems, water shortages, famine, deforestation, and desertification. The chronic droughts recorded in the early 1970s led some countries, such as Burkina Faso, to put water at the center of the political agenda. However, the preferred vision was technical and government-cent…
Projected impact of solar radiation modification geoengineering on water deficit risk over major Central African river basins
The economy of Central African countries strongly depends on rain-fed agriculture and hydropower generation. However, most countries in this subregion do not yet have the irrigation technologies that are already applied in many more advanced nations, which further exposes them to the serious risk of severe drought caused by global warming. This study investigates the potential impact of solar radiation modification (SRM) geoengineering on the wat…
A CMIP6 assessment of the potential climate change impacts on solar photovoltaic energy and its atmospheric drivers in West Africa
Many solar photovoltaic (PV) energy projects are currently being planned and/or developed in West Africa to sustainably bridge the increasing gap between electricity demand and supply. However, climate change will likely affect solar power generation and the atmospheric factors that control it. For the first time, the state-of-the-art CMIP climate models (CMIP6) are used to investigate the potential future evolution of solar power generation and …
Combining CMIP data with a regional convection-permitting model and observations to project extreme rainfall under climate change
Due to associated hydrological risks, there is an urgent need to provide plausible quantified changes in future extreme rainfall rates. Convection-permitting (CP) climate simulations represent a major advance in capturing extreme rainfall and its sensitivities to atmospheric changes under global warming. However, they are computationally costly, limiting uncertainty evaluation in ensembles and covered time periods. This is in contrast to the Clim…
The human imperative of stabilizing global climate change at 1.5°C
The need to stabilize global climate Climate change will be the greatest threat to humanity and global ecosystems in the coming years, and there is a pressing need to understand and communicate the impacts of warming, across the perspectives of the natural and social sciences. Hoegh-Guldberg et al. review the climate change–impact literature, expanding on the recent report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. They provide evidence of…
Potential impact of climate change on solar resource in Africa for photovoltaic energy: Analyses from Cordex-Africa climate experiments
The development of renewable electricity in Africa could be massive in coming decades, as a response to the rapid rising electricity demand while complying with the Paris Agreements. This study shows that in the high-resolution climate experiments of CORDEX-AFRICA, the annual mean solar potential is expected to decrease on average by 4% over most of the continent by the end of the century, reaching up to 6% over the Horn of Africa, as a direct re…
Changes in climate extremes over West and Central Africa at 1.5 °C and 2 °C global warming
In this study, we investigate changes in temperature and precipitation extremes over West and Central Africa (hereafter, WAF domain) as a function of global mean temperature with a focus on the implications of global warming of 1.5 C and 2 C according the Paris Agreement. We applied a scaling approach to capture changes in climate extremes with increase in global mean temperature in several subregions within the WAF domain: Western Sahel, Central…
