A Digital Climate Atlas for District-Level Risk Assessment & Adaptation Planning

Malawi is already experiencing the impacts of climate change, with hotter temperatures, shifting rainfall, and more frequent and intense extreme weather. These changes threaten farming, water resources, and the livelihoods of millions. To respond effectively, communities and leaders need clear, localised climate information such as district-level climate risks and practical adaptation options that support informed action.

The Malawi Climate Risk Mapping Platform, developed by the Government of Malawi with support from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), brings together district-level climate maps, climate trends, risk assessments and adaptation guidance in a single digital climate atlas designed to support evidence-based planning and climate-resilient development.

What the Platform Helps You Do

Understand local climate risks across Malawi
Identify practical adaptation options tailored to each district
Use data for planning at community, district, and national levels
Strengthen resilience through informed action

Explore Key Climate Insights

Access essential climate insights to understand risks at district and national levels, and explore targeted adaptation strategies to strengthen resilience.

Climate trend

Visualise how the climate is changing by looking at past trends and future projections. These pages show changes in temperature, precipitation and extreme climate events, saying whether different districts are becoming hotter, colder, wetter or drier.

Explore trends

Climate risk

This page presents climate risk assessments at the national and district levels. It helps users understand the key components and the level of risk across the country: vulnerability, climate impact and overall climate risk.

Explore risks

Adaptation options

Explore strategies and solutions designed to help different districts and sectors adjust to climate change and reduce its impacts. For example, farmers can adopt drought-resistant crops to cope with changing rainfall patterns.
