Assessment of climate change scenarios and variability in Uganda
Abstract

Understanding how climate will change over time provides a
valuable insight into how the challenges as result of climate
change (CC) and variability can be responded to. The general
objective of the study was to generate information to guide
activities geared towards building resilience of agro-based
communities in adapting to and mitigating present and future
climate change and variability impacts. Specifically, it assessed
the performance of different global climate models (GCMs) in
the MAGICC/Scengen tool with the view to obtain the best
combination to be used for downscaling for projecting climate
change and variability in Uganda. The preliminary results show
ECHO-G and UKHADCM3 as the best projectors of climate
change and variability in Uganda.
