This chapter presents key messages drawn from recent subsets of future climate projections for the southern Africa region. Material in this chapter is drawn from Chapter 3 of Climate Risk and Vulnerability: A Handbook for Southern Africa (Davis 2011), entitled 'Regional scenarios of future climate change over southern Africa' (Tadross et al. 2011), as well as recently released studies comparing multiple Global Circulation Models (GCMs), and statistically and dynamical downscaled models (Hewitson et al. 2014). Key messages from the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on climate change as well as those from the longterm adaptation scenarios for South Africa are also discussed.
