Application of climate data in policy and planning for consultants.

Invitation

Are you a consultant or a specialist translating climate model data to your client’s wishes? And do you want to enhance your capacity and skills to apply that data in a correct way so that climate policies are based on a sound understanding of the possibilities, limitations and uncertainties of said data? In that case you are invited to follow a three day training on the application of climate model data (CMIP5 and CORDEX) in different decision maker’s contexts.

The content

This three day training will have an interactive character with dialogues between providers and users on real life decision making contexts. The exchanges will be based on case studies provided by participating consultants and specialists. Preparation: Participants will be invited to prepare a case study based in their own working environment and to bring relevant information to the master class.

The topics dealt with in the training:
  • Articulation of information needs for sectors (energy, water management, agriculture, insurances, infrastructures)
  • Rules for access for commercial use of CMIP5 and CORDEX data
  • Use of CORDEX and CMIP5 data in case studies
