Utilize a climate projection tool “ClimoCast” for the NAP process
March, 2022
The aim of this e-learning course is to learn how the climate projection tool “ClimoCast” can be used in the NAP process. The tool covers all countries around the world, and allows users to compare different climate scenarios and models, as well as downscale the results to the sub-national level, which is very useful for adaptation planning. The course starts with crucial background knowledge on climate change adaptation and future climate projection, followed by a demonstration of how to use ClimoCast. Finally, the course shows how this tool can be used to develop more accurate NAPs, taking into account uncertainties in future climate, following the UNFCCC Technical guidelines for the NAP process.
