Event

The Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) is collaborating with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and local partners on a series of events across the region titled ‘Managing the Risks of Climate Extremes and Disasters in Asia – What Can we Learn from the IPCC Special Report?

The events are designed to increase the accessibility of the report and promote discussion and connections among diverse stakeholders. These brainstorming sessions are intended to improve access to and use of the latest science and social science information on the changing disaster risks to better anticipate climate-related disasters and build resilience.  In Asia, the first of these events took place in Beijing on April 26. Future events will include a two-day affair in New Delhi from May 2 to 3 followed by a day-long event in Bangkok on May 4. All these events will be streamed live on the CDKN website. Further details of the series are available on www.cdkn.org/srex . The full IPCC SREX report and policy-makers’ summary is available on http://ipcc-wg2.gov/SREX/
