SCST1059 Caribbean Summer Workshop for Introductory Climate Modellers
Short Course
Training scientists in the Caribbean to perform climate modelling can greatly benefit the region's efforts to address the unique challenges posed by climate change. The Caribbean faces vulnerabilities such as increased frequency and intensity of hurricanes, rising sea levels, coral bleaching, and threats to its tourism and agriculture sectors. By training local scientists in climate modelling, they can develop a deeper understanding of the specific climate dynamics and impacts in the Caribbean, enabling more effective climate adaptation and mitigation strategies tailored to the region's needs. Climate modelling provides a powerful tool for assessing the potential impacts of climate change and evaluating policy options. This workshop will build capacity in the region for climate modelling and provision of associated climate monitoring and response services through the creation of a cadre of aspiring modellers.
