Background and description
Scientific knowledge, data, technology and innovation contribute to building resilience by empowering communities of users and beneficiaries. Climate information, for instance, needs a great degree of accuracy and requires harmonization of multiple datasets to be able to minimize nuances and enhance data quality. The widening of the divide between providers and end-users is also a critical challenge and, in some cases, the information does not reach the intended users. With this, partnerships at the regional scale are very important in overcoming barriers to accessing and using knowledge and information.
This session will feature existing work and efforts and best practices in generating, synthesizing and/or disseminating information related to climate change adaptation, and look into gaps, challenges and opportunities, especially in the context of enhancing accessibility and use of climate information to enable synergistic and coordinated adaptation in t
