The aim of this session is to help you to understand more about climate products and services, and how these can contribute to adaptation planning.
The session will start with a brief explanation by an international expert about what climate products and services include, and you will then have the chance to discuss with your country colleagues what climate products and services you currently use and what weaknesses there may be in doing this.
After sharing your conclusions with others you will have the chance to put together some ideas for action.
