At the WRCPs OSC in Kigali, Rwanda in October
CORDEX are organizing two side events
LL04: CMIP AND CORDEX ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION TOOLS
Monday 23 October - Evening
A workshop, learning lab bringing together CMIP and CORDEX modellers and users. The focus will be on dialogue on the plethora of analysis and evaluation tools. The idea is to showcase some tools and their primary area of use and advantages as well as their limitations. We will also actively discuss how we can achieve more common community development to prevent duplication of effort and confusion for all levels of users and producers. This includes discussing what tools are suitable for what purpose, for instance if they work for both global, regional and very high-resolution models. Ideally a sort of guidance for users would be initiated. The workshop can also touch upon where and for what purpose global or regional/local models are best suited or adequate.
After initiating talks/demos in ‘plenary’ we will work in break-out groups to discuss identified sub-topics and to ensure many voices heard. The input from the break-out groups will be presented back in plenum.

TH07: CORDEX AFRICA
Tuesday 24 October - Evening
An in person townhall event organized with CORDEX Africa Points of Contacts and participants form CORDEX Africa Analysis and CORDEX Africa Atlas groups.
We will here demonstrate what is ongoing and what has been achieved so far under the ‘umbrella’ of CORDEX. It is important to demonstrate that CORDEX and WCRP are not only about models but also about producing and providing actionable information for society.We want to create a platform for climate experts and climate stakeholders to meet and interact and exchange knowhow and experiences.
We want to highlight specific burning issues for various African regions and the possibilities and challenges they face. At COP in November there were discussion on funds for loss and damage – here CORDEX input would be greatly needed for the calculations.
We will demonstrate how CORDEX has been involved in adaptation design and showcase best practices/good examples of how regional information is useful in society. We will involve representatives from socio-economic sectors such as agriculture, energy, health etc.
The goal is 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. Can we contribute to better align towards the same goals?
