Pathways to Provision of more Robust Regional Information for Society
Session ID#: 160272
Session Description:
This session will present and discuss ways to advance the construction and communication of climate information on scales relevant to decision makers and policy for climate adaptation and mitigation. Such information is urgently needed, should use the best available science, be developed in the context of application, and effectively communicated. The World Climate Research Programme’s new core project Regional Information for Society (RIfS) is dedicated to facilitate this work and catalyze new targeted research that is informed by the application context. In supporting this objective, the session will consider pertinent aspects of understanding the climate system, collation and/or generation of relevant and verifiable data, construction of context relevant actionable information, and the communication and engagement with policy and decision makers and relevant stakeholders. Through a mix of presentations and discussion, the session will address recent advances and new research directions to enhance the provision of climate information.
