How will #ElNino likely impact rainfall patterns around the world? There’s a map for that. More info here: iridl.ldeo.columbia.edu/maproom/IFRC/F…

AICCRA ensures that knowledge is disseminated and adopted for positive outcomes through training, which in 2022 benefited nearly 6,000 participants.” - IRI’s Alison Rose

“We can’t sit around and wait for a critical threshold of sea level rise to occur, because waiting could mean we would be missing out on taking anticipatory action and preparedness measures.” - Our Andrew Kruczkiewicz (Andrew Kruczkiewicz), via @ap. apnews.com/article/new-yo… cc: Columbia University

The positive impacts of this work will last for years and decades. Great to see the climate training for agricultural extension officers featured. Kudos to IRI staff and partners for the many months of effort they put in to make these trainings so successful!

For those who’ve asked about the potential impacts of El Niño - here’s a map that shows what it can do to rainfall patterns around the world. And for the latest El Niño forecasts: iri.columbia.edu/our-expertise/…

Congratulations to Celeste Saulo (SMN Argentina), who will be the first female Sec-Gen of World Meteorological Organization! public.wmo.int/en/media/press…

Congratulations!

Making moves in Malawi!  🇲🇼 Today, we are kicking off our World Meteorological Organization CREWS project with IRI & @DccmsM ! Together, we will make sure Malawi's #climate data 📈 is not only improved, but made freely accessible and useful to support decision-makers! 🧠💡#AdaptationInAction 💪🏾

Our Daniel Edward Osgood spoke with David Sherfinski Thomson Reuters about how #climatechange is impacting insurance markets. ‘Effectively, we are making a "human choice to make a less-resilient future”.’ he said. context.news/climate-risks/…

We developed a 🆕 Climate Guidance Series w/input from IRI + Met Office to help humanitarians to interpret and use common types of #climate and weather #data in their analysis. Read our first climate guidance note on precipitation forecasts: bit.ly/43TPhM1

This is what #FourthPurpose looks like! It was so much fun hosting 20+ forecasters📈⛈️ from 10+ countries all over Africa 🌍at IRI these past few weeks! They'll carry new capacities around best-available forecasting approaches home to share, but also great memories!😊

Ensuring climate information📈is embedded within agricultural extension systems👩🏽‍🌾🌾is critical for supporting farmers in an increasingly erratic #climate!▶️Watch how we're teaming up with partners like Anacim & Ancar in Senegal 🇸🇳 to do just that! Columbia Climate School

In this Q&A, climate scientist Andrew Kruczkiewicz of Columbia Climate School IRI discusses his work with Climate Centre, why we need a new generation of climate science translators, and what humanitarian action might look like in a post 1.5C° world. news.climate.columbia.edu/2024/02/05/ext…

Supporting farmers to become climate-resilient means also supporting the network of actors who surround them. ✏️#Education has an enormous role to play. Learn how IRI thru AICCRA is working with 70+ institutions across Africa to co-develop curricula to manage #climate risk

🗓️Join us next week for a very special webinar with the World Bank and AICCRA to learn how IRI is working with regional and local partners to catalyze climate-smart agriculture in Africa. Register here! 👇

How can we continue to support and mentor women scientists? Our very own Dr. Sari Lucille Blakeley answers this and more in State of the Planet's latest series celebrating women in science 🎉: news.climate.columbia.edu/2024/02/13/cel…

Meet Columbia Climate School IRI food security expert Amanda Sue Grossi whose focus is to help farmers in Africa plan for their seasons and decision-makers better predict and plan for climate extremes. #IDWGS news.climate.columbia.edu/2024/02/15/cel…
