Cross-Discipline Climate Service Research
2016 - 2018
According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), climate services provide climate information to help individuals and organizations make climate smart decisions. The meteorological and non-meteorological data is collected and transformed into customized products such as projections, trends, economic analysis and services for different user communities. Climate services equip decision makers in climate-sensitive sectors with better information to help society adapt to climate variability and change.
ICDI takes stock of national and international cases and policies of climate services. In the recent three year, the research team focused on sectors of “energy”, “public health ” and “agriculture and food production”, and reviewed 20 cases of implemented climate services.
ICDI, in cooperation with the Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS), National Development Council (NDC) and National Taiwan University (NTU), conducted a questionnaire survey to climate service providers in Taiwan. The partners co-organized a seminar on climate change adaptation and a workshop on climate service in Taipei in October 2018.
