About the webinar

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warns that Central America is the most vulnerable hotspot of the world's tropical regions, as it is an area highly sensitive to changes in temperature and precipitation patterns and to the increase in intensity and recurrence of extreme hydro-meteorological events that result from or are enhanced by climate change.

To address the negative effects of this process, rapid and effective actions are needed based on quality climate information adapted to the needs of the users. For this reason, the Regional Committee on Water Resources (CRRH), one of the Technical Secretariats of the Central American Integration System, is working in collaboration with several institutional partners and with the support of USAID's Regional Climate Change Program, on the development of Centro Clima, the first regional climate information system for Central America and the Dominican Republic.

This webinar will be a presentation of Centro Clima and two of its tools for specific sectors: coffee and fisheries. The webinar will be held at Spanish. If you have any questions about this event, please contact the LEDS LAC Platform Secretariat: [email protected].
