Phase II Theme Reports
Final reports These results are still being packaged in different ways to serve different user needs. For municipalities, for example, a manual will be developed explaining key methodologies and showing detailed findings and recommendations for the cities/towns analysed. Training material will also be developed for early warning specialists (climate change and flooding simulations) and farmers (training of trainers - climate change and crop yields). These information packages will be posted on the portal and provided to users through the centre of knowledge on climate change.

- Coastal planning and adaptation to mitigate climate change impacts Andre Theron or Laurie Barwell Email: atheron@csir.co.za or lbarwell@csir.co.za This study determined the levels of coastal vulnerability and potential impacts of sea level rise and more extreme weather events on 12 high-risk cities and towns along the coast: Ponta d’Ouro, Maputo, Xaixai beach, Tofu, Maxixe, Inhambane, Vilankulos,Beira, Quelimane, Ilha de Mozambique, Nacala and Pemba. Specific implications for tourism and industry in each of the 12 locations were identified, and recommendations given on the interventions needed to protect people and infrastructure from the increasingly extreme weather events and sea level rise.

- Theme 4: Building Resilience
- Mozambique: Building resilience with the private sector AD Little ADL was asked to help build climate change resilience in Mozambique through private sector investment in attractive and sustainable business opportunities (Theme 4) The scope of this project can be divided in 3 phases: 1. Diagnosis and formulation 2. Evaluation 3. Implementation support The focus of this document is to show the most relevant methodological steps undertaken - In the first phase we identified High Climate Change Risk / High Climate Change Impact areas and private investment opportunities for adaptation and mitigation measures. - In the second phase we performed feasibility and cost-benefit analysis on the long list of adaptation measures, studied the main barriers to investment and contacted several financing entities - In the third phase we analyzed options for investment Programs and detailed the most promising ones and laid out recommendations for implementation

- Theme 5: Water (Portuguese)
- Responding to Climate Change in Mozambique - Component Water Dr. Georg Petersen HYDROC Consult Siegum 4, 24960 Siegum, Germany +49-172-4509149 gpetersen@hydroc.de www.hydroc.de Executive summary In SC1, a water Decision Support System (DSS) was developed for the whole Zambezi basin, covering 1.4 Mio km². The DSS is a state-of-the-art, well calibrated, easy to use analysis tool that will serve Mozambican analysts for rapid assessment of impacts of climate change and upstream developments (irrigation, dams) on discharge. Due to its implementation as an open web-based system, the DSS is also available to the general public. The DSS has a graphical user interface and combines GIS layers, background maps and model elements, which are linked to a dynamic database and river basin model. The water balance module of the DSS simulates runoff generation from monthly precipitation and temperature inputs in 27 sub-basins of the Zambezi basin. A water allocation module considers wetlands, reservoir operations and water abstractions and aggregates discharge along the rivernetwork at 40 locations. The user can interactively add locations of interest and add or modify scenarios including climate change, water withdrawals (irrigation), dam development and reservoir operation rules. Climatic data included in the DSS cover the period 1950-2005 for historic observations and 1960-2100 for data of three climate models, thereby enabling simulations for any time-slice between 1950 and 2100. The DSS includes an analysis tool for visualization of simulation results as time-series, seasonality or distribution (frequencies of high and low flows). Export of results enables post-processing with external software. Results of application examples of the DSS are presented, including impact assessment of climate change, irrigation and dam development. The examples show the high sensitivity and high complexity of regional changes in the Zambezi basin under various scenarios. Therefore, the DSS will serve as an important scenario analysis tool for water resources management in the Zambezi basin. The server with the installed DSS system will be located at CENOE in Maputo, Mozambique. The modular structure of the DSS software allows for future extensions to other river basins as well as other functionalities.
