Section outline

10 November, 2021: at 08:00 UTC
The aim of this session is to identify what technical resources you will need in order to assess climate risk.
Following on from a brief presentation by an international expert, you will have the chance to discuss what technical skills you have available in your own country, what skills need to be strengthened, and to think about what help you could seek to build capacity.
You will then have the chance to report back on your findings, listen to the challenges that other countries face, and discuss with WMO experts how you can strengthen capacity building activities.
The session ends with an assignment. You are asked to spend some time during the next few days thinking about what you have discussed and trying to make contact with people from your own country or elsewhere who may be able to contribute to capacity building. You will then be asked to report back on this activity in Session 4.
