This working paper consolidates work undertaken as part of a project to incorporate climate science into climate-sensitive decision-making processes in Windhoek, Namibia.

The paper serves as a resource for those seeking the Windhoek-specific climate data and information analysed, produced and made available through the Future Resilience for African CiTies And Lands (FRACTAL) project, part of the UK government’s Future Climate for Africa (FCFA) multi-consortia programme.

The paper provides an overview of the work, and it identifies gaps and needs that have not yet been filled or met. It offers suggestions for possible priorities for future research and capacity-strengthening activities.
