Awareness on the economic and social impacts of climate change is increasing. These impacts can be reduced by a proactive approach: it is better to prepare for such events than react to them. From this perspective, the WMO (World Meteorological Organization) strongly encourages the implementation of Climate Services to meet the needs of the different stakeholders.
CNR IBE has an acknowledged experience in organizing and delivery training on climate disciplines both in presence and online. RTC Italy aims at contributing to the widespread of climate information and knowledge to help a governments, organizations or individuals to better cope with climate risks.
The focus of the training: climate change and variability and their effects on natural resources and agriculture, sub-seasonal to seasonal forecast and predictions as a tool for water and agriculture management.
Specific training activities and workshops in African Countries in the framework of international projects.
IBE ClimateServices provides full, open and free-of-charge access to data and information, consistent with the international data sharing principles.
The aim is to provide opportunities for the research and the stakeholder community and to create a shared sustainable growth to cope with global challenges.
IBE is committed to foster compliance with OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) data standards and webservices, and to improve access to data with a view towards long-term data stewardship.

“The scientist does not study nature because it is useful to do so. He studies it because he takes pleasure in it, and he takes pleasure in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful it would not be worth knowing, and life would not be worth living.”
Shafer, M. (2008).
“Do we, as scientists, need to concern ourselves with whether or how the information is used?”
