Some news from CORDEX side events at the WCRP OSC!
At the WCRP Open Science Conference in Kigali, Rwanda, in October CORDEX organized two side events, one for CORDEX Africa and another together with CMIP titled CMIP AND CORDEX ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION TOOLS.
The CORDEX Africa session aimed for climate experts and climate stakeholders to meet and interact and exchange knowhow and experiences.
Chris Lennard from University of Cape Town gave a short overview of CORDEX Africa followed by short pitches from representatives from different socio-economic sectors such as agriculture, energy, health etc. After that the participants circulated between round table discussions on the challenges each sector faces and specific burning issues for various African regions.
We wanted to identify pressing needs, challenges and possibilities and to help close the gap between the research community/climate information producers and the climate information users with focus on Africa. The CORDEX Africa domain will follow up on the outcomes of this session and continue to work with this during 2024.
