A map and fact sheet by WWF South Africa focusing on the Zululand and Mpumalanga regions, highlighting their biodiversity and climatic conditions.

A briefing by Zero Carbon Analytics detailing how soy-driven deforestation in Brazil's Cerrado biome reduces regional rainfall and agricultural productivity, creating a paradox where individual farmer profits are outweighed by regional economic losses and global supply chain risks.

A report by Zero Carbon Analytics (ZCA) detailing how deforestation in the Congo Basin disrupts a climate teleconnection that provides critical rainfall to West Africa, specifically threatening the global cocoa supply chain and increasing costs for European importers.

This case study by the Climate Policy Initiative and the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (CPI/PUC-Rio) uses an atmospheric transport model to analyze how deforestation in the Amazon Forest, specifically within the Xingu River Basin, reduces rainfall in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. The study demonstrates that forest cover is critical for maintaining humidity in air parcels, and its removal leads to significant decreases in precipitation that threaten agriculture, energy generation, and urban water supplies.

This policy brief examines climate change risks for rice farmers in the Pangasinan and Tarlac provinces of the Philippines, highlighting the severe impact of typhoons and intense rain on farm income and projecting future rainfall changes for the region.

This guide, written by Roy Bouwer of SouthSouthNorth, explains how to navigate the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Interactive Atlas, using African climate data as a primary example. It outlines a six-step process for selecting scales, datasets, variables, and socio-economic pathways to visualize climate projections and summarizes the expected temperature and rainfall trends for Africa.
