Workshop general objectives - Workshop expectations
S. Solman – R. Arritt- C. Ereño
Water
Support science-based sustainable regional development and policymaking in the context
of climate change
Agriculture
Health
Energy
Develop a capacity building effort
Evaluate regional climate model downscaled projections
Provide targeted downscaled
information for impact assessment
analysis
Identify regionally focused VIA
analysis, user-knowledge needs
Main outcome: Getting familiarized with Participants work and goals
} Less time for oral presentations, more time for posters (including food! J )
} Spread training out over the period so relationships can form among participants, invited speakers and organizers.
} More time devoted to training activities. } More time for interaction.
} The Caribbean: main climate-driven issues ◦ CORDEX data and tools for model evaluation
Background papers and invited plenary speakers will provide the context for main topics of regional concern.
} Training activities (Chris Lennard): ◦ From data to action….developing useful climate-
relevant messages for policy development
} Aims: 1. To identify risks faced by sectors in society to both climate and non-‐climate stress.
2. To gain understanding of climate information and the context it is used in by decision making framework
3. To develop the ability to use climate information responsibly so that one can make informed decisions when assessing climate-‐related risk and setting appropriate prioritization.
4. To understand how climate information intersects with non-‐climatic factors.
5. Develop key, actionable statements based on a case study you will develop.

Poster session II
} Improved training and analysis skills. } Enhanced synthesis and relevance of regional
climate information and projections. } Improved channels for timely sharing of climate
change information. } Improved understanding of potential vulnerabilities
and impacts of global change at the regional scale. } Enhanced awareness by regional authorities of the
need for adaptation and early response actions. } The group trained through this capacity building
and education action will become regional experts who will train and advise others in expanded efforts on CORDEX analysis and interpretation of regional climate change responses and related VIA aspects.
