Your elev<strong>at</strong>or pitch<br />
Only 14% of the households in rural Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have access to electricity <strong>and</strong><br />
decisions in the energy sector taken today will have large long-term impacts on future<br />
developments, greenhouse gas emissions <strong>and</strong> energy prices. The CIREG project aims to<br />
support African countries in leapfrogging on new technologies <strong>and</strong> to increase the share of<br />
renewable sources in the total energy mix <strong>and</strong> is thus addressing mitig<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />
Model-based support for decision-makers in the energy sector will be e<strong>lab</strong>or<strong>at</strong>ed by<br />
establishing <strong>and</strong> providing necessary clim<strong>at</strong>e services covering all sp<strong>at</strong>io-temporal scales<br />
from short-term to scenario projections <strong>and</strong> from local to transboundary <strong>and</strong> large river<br />
basin scales. The w<strong>at</strong>er-energy-food-clim<strong>at</strong>e nexus will be considered, because decision<br />
taken in the energy sector will inevitably have a feedback on w<strong>at</strong>er supply <strong>and</strong> food<br />
production.<br />
