Abstract
This baseline study focuses on the coastal city of Port Louis (Mauritius) as part of a wider study “Sub-Saharan African Cities: A Five-City Network to Pioneer Climate Adaptation through Participatory Research and Local Action.” The report provides an overview of potential impacts of climatic changes in the Indian Ocean with regard to global sea surface temperatures (changes in wind speed associated with changes in frequency, magnitude and intensity of cyclones). At a local level, infrastructure and services that fall under the municipality’s jurisdiction will be impacted in relation to variability in wind speed.
