IRAP funds IRI, University of Arizona climate project
Funded by CPO’s International Research and Applications Project (IRAP) and U.S. AID, the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) and the University of Arizona are teaming up to address climate vulnerability in the world’s most at-risk areas.
International Research Institute for Climate & Society and U. of Arizona Team Up for Climate
IRI and the University of Arizona address climate vulnerability in most at-risk areas of the world in new project.
The Caribbean, Asia’s Indo-Gangetic Plain and West Africa are three regions known to be extremely vulnerable to climate variability and change, particularly to droughts, extreme weather events and stresses on food production, water resources and coastal areas. A new five-year project jointly led by the International Research Institute for Climate and Society and the University of Arizona aims to strengthen climate resilience in these regions using strategies in the sectors of water resources, hazard risk management and coastal planning and management.
Project Website Launched to Share Information with Researchers and Stakeholders about the IRAP: Integrating Climate Information and Decision Processes for Regional Climate Resilience
The IRAP Project website was launched this month as a means to provide access to background information, vulnerability and impact assessments, prototype maps and visualization tools, descriptions and summaries of project events and opportunities for partnerships. The information can be found at http://irap.iri.columbia.edu
NOAA/CPO Climate and Societal Interaction Program Awards Funding to Initiate the International Research and Applications (IRAP) Program
Through a highly competitive proposal process, NOAA’s International Research and Applications Project (IRAP) awarded funding to the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) for a project entitled “IRAP: Integrating Climate Information and Decision Processes for Regional Climate Resilience”.
Climate.gov staff, NOAA leadership attend Webby Awards
After winning three awards in the 2014 Webby Awards, NOAA Climate.gov was invited to give a five-word acceptance speech at a ceremony in New York City on Monday.
