Climate Services Research and Development: Adapting to Climate Today Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 52665

Session Description:
The United Nations estimates that by 2030, between $60 and $182 billion will be needed each year for adaptation globally. However, counties of all economic status are not adapted to current climate variability. Society is impacted by climate now and must better adapt and manage climate today, not just focus on climate expectations at the end of the century. The Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) was established to address climate-related risks across timescales, for specific socio-economic sectors. These efforts can be informed and advanced by focused collaboration across disciplines and national borders. For this session, we invite presentations on the challenges and opportunities associated with the design, implementation, and evaluation of projects that bring climate information into real world decisions. We particularly welcome presentations that highlight methods and processes by which the needs, opportunities, and gaps in climate information and knowledge are identified and incorporated in climate services development.
