Through a process of co-production, co-development and targeted research, identify the critical tipping points that may exist in the southern African climate and land-use system, across the sectors of food security, water security and biodiversity conservation.

Assess the timing and location of potential transgression of tipping point thresholds in southern Africa under climate change, through the use of detailed, state-of-the-art projections of regional climate change and a knowledge of system dynamics and tolerances.

Formulate adaptation options through a co-production process with stakeholders, to increase the resilience of southern African food, water and biodiversity conservation systems to climate change induced tipping points.

Develop a climate services web-portal, to disseminate authoritative climate change projections, climate change indices, projections of climate change impacts and adaptation options to a wide range of stakeholders in southern Africa, in an accessible and understandable format.
