The project aimed to build capacity of UNDP country personnel in South and Southeast Asian regions on managing climate risks, in support of UNDP’s Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery’s (BCPR) strategic objective to establish climate risk management as service line within the disaster risk reduction and recovery (DRR) sub-practice. Key activities included development of training curriculum, module, and facilitation note, and of post-training impact evaluation guide.

The training aimed to build capacity of the National Center for Hydrology and Meteorology, Bhutan, on numerical weather prediction. The training included NWP model installation, customization, and product interpretation.

The project reviewed and profiled existing climate information products and services for the agriculture and food security sector in Southeast Asian countries, in support of CGIAR’s research program on climate change, agriculture and food security.

The project aimed to build capacities of NMHSs in customizing regional climate projections, capacity building of sectoral users on interpretation and application of customized projections for risk analysis, and planning departments for integrating risk-informed adaptation into development planning processes. Key activities included training on generation of downscaled climate change projections; engagement with planning departments for application; support for Monsoon Forums in Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Pakistan

This program aims to evolve a systematic capacity building process for NHMSs to integrate emerging  climate /weather forecasting technologies  and best practices into NHMs  operations.

The project aimed to strengthen community capacity to respond to rapid and slow onset climate hazards through Community Based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM) initiatives in at least 70 villages in Myanmar’s dry zone.

The project acquired and installed a WMO-compliant automatic weather station at CCDB’s Climate Technology Park, and developed a web application for weather observation data collection.
