Regional training on long-range forecasts, climate watch related aspects and climate scenarios
UNISDR and WMO started in May 2012 the joint implementation of the project 'Building resilience to disasters in the Western Balkans and Turkey'. The project is supported by the European Commission DG Enlargement through the Instrument for Pre-Accession (IPA). The beneficiaries are Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Kosovo (under UNSCR 1244) and Turkey. The project has a duration of 24 months and will end in May 2014. The overall objective of the Action is to strengthen the resilience of the IPA beneficiaries to disasters.
As a part of the project activities, WMO will organize a regional training on long-range forecasts, climate watch related aspects and climate scenarios in application to various user sectors. The training will be organized in connection with the tenth session of the South East European Climate Outlook Forum (SEECOF10).
