Abstract
Due to its geographical location, geomorphology and socio-economic context, Beira (Mozambique) is one of the cities most threatened by climate change worldwide. The large-scale destruction wreaked by Cyclone Idai in March 2019 has turned the spotlight on the vulnerability of the city to extreme weather events. Correspondingly, Politecnico di Torino has launched an interdisciplinary master thesis laboratory to support Comunità di Sant’Egidio in developing a vision for the future of Beira, based on sustainability and resilience to climate change. In this context, the objective of the present work is to depict the future of the extreme climatic conditions that are likely to affect the area in the next decades.
To pursue this aim, a multi-model ensemble of climate simulations from CMIP6 (sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project) has been employed to analyse future projections under two alternative scenarios
