WCRP Climate Research Forum Southeast Asia

This is one in a series of regional forums, where we will exchange ideas, discuss new activities and opportunities being developed by the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), and explore ways that our community of scientists, partner programs, funders, and end-users of our climate science can engage to meet these challenges.

This Forum will begin with an overview of WCRP from the Vice Chair of the WCRP Joint Scientific Committee (the scientific steering body of WCRP) Helen Cleugh, followed by talks highlighting climate science priorities and opportunities for collaboration in the Southeast Asian Region :

• CORDEX-SEA: Providing regional climate change information for enabling adaptations in Southeast Asia, Fredolin Tangang, Professor and Chairperson, Department of Earth Sciences and Environment, the National University of Malaysia and CORDEX-SEA Coordinator.
• Climate science and information priorities and needs – researcher and end user perspectives, Ardhasena Sopaheluwakan, Director, Center for Applied Climate Services, Meteorological, Climatological and Geophysical Agency, Indonesia.
• Climate science as decision-support for resilience: transdisciplinary approaches from local to global, Jessica Dator-Bercilla, University of the Philippines in the Visayas and Asia Climate Change Consortium.
• From science to action: bridging researchers and practitioners, Rodel Lasco, Oscar M. Lopez Center and Philippines Country Coordinator for World Agroforestry (ICRAF).

This will be followed by a moderated question and answer session, with time for discussion.

The Forum is without charge and is open to all, but we do ask that you register your interest.
