Resumen
Descripción
A climate service is a decision aide derived from climate information that assists individuals and organizations in society to make improved ex-ante decision-making. The importance of developing effective climate services in support of climate change adaptation and disaster risk management in the agriculture sectors has gained international recognition and become an important stream of work for FAO in the Asia-Pacific region (FAO RAP).
In July 2019, FAO RAP together with a range of partners organized the 1st Asia-Pacific Agriculture Climate Week. The Week facilitated the sharing of new approaches, technologies, and experiences such as modeling of climate change impacts on agriculture and suitability of crops, using Agro-Ecological Zone (AEZ) approach for long-term planning, climate vulnerability and risk assessment in agriculture and land sectors, strengthening agrometeorological services for both climate hazards and pests and disease, developing climate data, information platforms and visualization tools.
This year, the 2nd Asia-Pacific Agriculture Climate Services Week is set to be organized on 1 to 3 and 6 to 7 December 2021 with an aim to share innovations and promote climate services to support the transformation toward climate mitigation and adapted, resilient agri-food systems in the Asia-Pacific. With this announcement, we wish to attract relevant partners and agencies working on climate/agrometeorological services, early warning and anticipatory action, as well as technical staff from relevant projects to participate in the workshops.
