Impacts

Posted on June 22, 2014, updated on May 11, 2022 by chris
SOCCO aims to have a societal level impact that aligns with national and global needs:
  • Support the improvement in century-scale climate risk forecasts by reducing uncertainties in our ability to accurately represent the biophysical mechanisms that govern ocean-atmosphere fluxes of CO2 and heat.
  • Support South African and global carbon mitigation policy by improving the confidence in century-scale projections of climate risk by Earth System Models for informed adaptation planning and decision-making that meet society’s urgent need for robust and actionable climate risk management
  • Building a nationally integrated observational and modelling capability to support policy development and robust assessment of the opportunities and risks of ocean Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) strategies.
  • Address Human Capital Development and transformation needs within both scientific and technological research innovation by developing a skilled and capable workforce in support of a knowledge-based economy.
