Climate Analysis

Effective solutions begin with understanding climate change risk.

SSA provides robust, decision-oriented climate risk assessments that help African institutions understand how climate change is affecting their economies, sectors, and communities — today and in the future.

Using advanced climate models and observational data, our team analyses hazards such as droughts, floods, storms, heatwaves, and water stress.

But we also go beyond climate variables. Our assessments integrate land use dynamics, socio-economic exposure, institutional vulnerabilities, and sector-specific sensitivities to produce a realistic picture of climate risk on the ground.

Our work helps partners to:

Identify significant climate hazards and risk hotspots
Assess exposure across key sectors — agriculture, water, infrastructure, energy, food systems
Understand future risk pathways under different climate scenarios
Inform national planning, sector strategies, and investment priorities
