https://futureclimateafrica.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Mulanje_Malawi-e1634050133550.png1146547During the Future Climate for Africa (FCFA) programme researchers looked to provide locally-relevant climate information and appropriate adaptation options for tea production in Africa. This included research in Rwanda carried out by the CCKE and Paul Watkiss Associates, as well as the Climate Information for Resilient Tea Production (CI4TEA) project in Kenya and Malawi carried out by the UMFULA and HyCRISTAL projects. A new report and two accompanying infographics produced by FCFA synthesize the key research from the programme. These products highlight the climate risks facing African tea producers, and how climate change may add additional stressors, while outlining potential adaptation options to ensure the sustainability of the sector in the future.
