We have heard it countless times. Climate change will affect weather patterns. Climate science plays an important role in protecting vulnerable regions like the Caribbean from extremes such as hurricanes, floods, heatwaves and droughts. Climate monitoring systems form part and parcel of the region’s resilience mechanism to forecast changes and make projections as we experience shifts in historical patterns and increased climate variability.
This episode Senior Lecturer and Hydrologist, Dr. Jonothan Cox, Agrometerology Chief, Adrian Trotman, Climatologist, Cedric van Meerbeek and technical Officer Jodie-Ann Petrie shares how the Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology supported the expansion of regional climate monitoring networks (weather and hydrology stations) and building the capacity of national and regional structures to deliver relevant climate products and services.
The CaribClimate Podcast has been commissioned by the Caribbean Regional PPCR. A 5-year, 10.9 Million USD project funded by the Climate Investment Funds (CIF) and administered by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), through the University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona Office of Research and Innovation (MORI). The project's objectives were to:
1. Improve the Caribbean's processes to acquire, store, analyze, access and disseminate climate-relevant data.
2. Pilot and scale-up innovative climate-resilient initiatives in the region.
