What kind of activities does RIfS do?
RIfS supports and builds on existing WCRP projects as test cases for co-production of regional information, with the goal of more widespread integration of societal elements in WCRP research.
RIfS also pursues overarching activities that:
- map barriers and challenges to the adoption of regional information for decision-making;
- advance consensus on best-practices.
RIfS may launch other activities consistent with its Science and Implementation Plan, which establishes four key clusters of activity:
- regional climate information and projections,
- seasonal to decadal predictability,
- weather and climate extremes, and
- communication and societal engagement.
