Abstract:
This profile provides an overview of projected climate
parameters and related impacts on different sectors
in Eastern Africa until 2080 under different climate
change scenarios (called Representative Concentration
Pathways, RCPs). RCP2.6 represents the low emissions
scenario that aims to keep global warming likely below
2 °C above pre-industrial temperatures. RCP6.0 repre-
sents a medium to high emissions scenario that is likely
to exceed 2 °C. Model projections do not account
for effects of future socio-economic impacts, unless
indicated otherwise.
