Model and Data Repository_CLEWs 4 Zambia

This repository for the research affiliated with the University of Edinburgh encompasses a comprehensive collection of data and model files, meticulously curated to facilitate detailed analysis and modelling using the CLEWs (Climate-Land-Energy-Water) framework. The repository includes the following essential files:

1. CLEWs Scenario Data Files
2. CLEWs Reference Diagram for the Baseline:
• A comprehensive PDF diagram illustrating the baseline interconnections within the CLEWs framework for Zambia. This diagram serves as a visual aid to understand the foundational relationships and interactions between climate, land, energy, and water systems.
3. CLEWs Number Crunching File:
• An Excel file containing detailed numerical analyses and computations essential for the CLEWs modelling. This file includes various datasets, calculations, and results that form the backbone of the scenario analyses.
4. Signed Stakeholder Consent Forms:
• Documentation of consent from stakeholders who contributed to the research, ensuring ethical standards and transparency in data collection and usage.
5. Detailed Stakeholder Responses:
• Comprehensive documentation of feedback and insights from stakeholders, providing valuable qualitative data that complement the quantitative analyses. These responses are crucial for understanding local perspectives and validating model assumptions.
6. GEOCLEWs Inputs and Outputs for Zambia:
• A collection of files generated by the GeoCLEWs_ZM script, which automates data collection from sources such as GAEZ v4 and FAOSTAT. The outputs include agro-climatic potential yield, crop water deficit, precipitation, and land cover data, combined with electricity information for detailed CLEWs modelling. This dataset is vital for integrated analysis and visualization of the CLEWs components.

By centralising these critical resources, the Zenodo repository provides an invaluable tool for researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders engaged in sustainable development and climate resilience efforts in Zambia. Each file has been meticulously prepared and uploaded to ensure ease of access, facilitating robust analysis and informed decision-making within the context of the CLEWs framework.
