This special issue of open access Climate journal from MDPI is addressed to officers from national climate services, decision makers, planners and scholars engaged in hydroclimatic disaster risk reduction in Africa.

Alessandro Pezzoli, Maurizio Tiepolo (DIST-Politecnico di Torino), and Vieri Tarchiani (Ibimet-CNR), as guest editors of the special issue, encourage scholars to submit manuscripts to Climate journal within 31 December 2018.

This special issue is devoted to climate change and hydroclimatic risks, as recommended by the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015), and hydro-climatic risk reduction measures, according the 13° Sustainable Development Goal of the United Nations (2015), with specific reference to African context.

Original, high-quality and unpublished manuscripts that present methodologies and best practices in two broad areas are welcome:

  • Local scale climate trends and climate impacts (agricultural droughts, floods, etc...).
  • Climate services offered by national meteorological organizations to local planning, projects and farmers in the form of decision-making tools for disaster risk reduction (multi-hazard risk cartography and index, early warning systems, local agro-meteorological bulletins, etc.).

Accepted manuscripts are rapidly published and freely accessible online.
