Temperature
Historical annual means, long-run change, and forward projections anchored to country climatology.
ProjectClimate ResilienceActive
Climate intelligence for Africa.
ClimaChain organises climate records for all 54 African countries into readable signals, transparent evidence, and policy-ready briefs.
Project overview
ClimaChain provides shared evidence for climate decisions in Africa.
Climate information is often spread across separate sources, formats, and technical systems. ClimaChain brings core country signals into one public platform so decision makers can examine historical change, compare projections, and carry the evidence into policy and programme work.
The platform covers temperature, precipitation, CO₂ emissions, and vegetation from 1960 through projections to 2050. It combines charts with source context, signal alerts, and concise briefs designed for ministries, lenders, researchers, and adaptation programmes.
Climate signals
Explore the climate signals.
Precipitation
Long-term rainfall records and projections that make changing water patterns easier to interpret.
CO₂ emissions
Country-level annual emissions series that show the direction and scale of change over time.
Vegetation
NDVI signals that show seasonal greenness and shifts in vegetation health.
From data to decisions
Use climate evidence in policy and programmes.
Signal alerts
ClimaChain identifies material changes in the loaded series and pairs each signal with a plain-language interpretation.
Policy briefs
Data-grounded briefs turn country-level climate records into concise notes for ministries, lenders, and adaptation programmes.
Portable evidence
Charts, source context, and summaries can be exported to PDF or Excel for analysis, reporting, and collaboration.
Transparent by design
Every series includes a clear quality status.
ClimaChain uses public data and documented country baselines, including World Bank indicators and CMIP6 climate projections. Every series carries a quality flag so users can distinguish observations from reconstructed estimates and identify gaps.
01
Live
Returned directly from the connected public data source.
02
Estimated
Reconstructed from documented country baselines when an observation-grade series is unavailable.
03
Unavailable
Shown when the platform cannot support a defensible value for the selected series.
