AFRICA-GHG: The role of African tropical forests on the Greenhouse Gases balance of the atmosphere (AFRICA-GHG)
Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
The role of the African continent in the global carbon cycle, and therefore in climate change, is increasingly recognised. Despite the increasingly acknowledged importance of Africa in the global carbon cycle and its high vulnerability to climate change there is still a lack of studies on the carbon cycle in representative African ecosystems (in particular tropical forests), and on the effects of ...

CLimate change and Urban Vulnerability in Africa (CLUVA)
Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2013,
The social and economic impact of natural disasters in emerging economies and developing countries is growing. Many African countries have fragile economies unable to absorb the shocks caused by natural disasters enhanced by the increasing vulnerability of rapidly expanding urban areas. Climate change is likely to rapidly exacerbate this situation. The overall objective of CLUVA is to develop meth ...

sustainaBle uRban plannIng Decision support accountinG for urban mEtabolism (BRIDGE)
Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2011,
"Like any living system, urban communities consume material and energy inputs, process them into usable forms, and eliminate the wastes from the process. This can be seen as ""metabolism"" of industry, commerce, municipal operations, and households. Understanding the pattern of these energy and material flows through a community's economy provides a systemic reading of the present situation for go ...
