Making climate information user friendly for humanitarian organizations

This case study addresses the need to increase the ability to anticipate and prepare for changing climate risks – not only in the coming decades, but also in the next days, weeks, months, and years – in order to cope with and adapt to the impacts of climate change. It presents strategies for addressing increasing climate risks, such as the 'Early Warning, Early Action' (EWEA) method; assesses climate information needs in Asia Pacific; and sets forth potential improvements in the formats and usage of this data for the region.
