Advancing scientific understanding of climate, improving society’s ability to plan and respond
The latest in a series of innovative peer-to-peer knowledge exchanges that Pacific RISA, a NOAA CAP team, has facilitated that further climate adaptation capacity-building and start to bridge the planning-to-implementation gap among county planners in Hawaiʻi.
The study, published in the Journal of Frontiers in Climate, provided results that are transferable to other regions and scales. Sustained and collaborative regional climate assessments like this one can serve a key function in complementing major national and international assessments, by translating and more effectively targeting information to meet local needs in support of regional climate adaptation and policy making.
Pacific RISA is leveraging the NCA4 regional chapter and Pacific Islands Regional Climate Assessment with workshops and new products that respond to informational requests from the U.S.-Affiliated Pacific Islands and aim to build a more robust and inclusive regional network
Pacific RISA fostered an inspiring conversation between His Excellency and representatives from Hawai’i state and local government, international consulates, NGOs, and academia.
Research funded by CPO’s Modeling, Analysis, Prediction, and Projections (MAPP) program was published in the latest issue of the Journal of Climate.
An upcoming NCA rollout event in Hawaii is being led by the Pacific RISA and the Pacific Islands LCC.
