Climate Information and Services: UN CC: e-Learn tutorial

The African continent, especially Sub-Saharan Africa, is exposed to climate variability and extremes at frequencies which exceed normal thresholds. Such climate-related events could significantly erode gains in poverty reduction and set back economic development.

Climate information and services (CI/S) are key resources for governments and communities to prepare for these changes and when well integrated into policy and practice, they can help reverse this trend and enhance cross-sectoral climate resilient development.

This tutorial highlights key concepts and practical examples to increase decision-makers’ awareness of climate information and services. It is a fast track course on application of climate information and services in decision making.
