Transforming Access to and Use of Climate Information Products Derived from Remote Sensing and In Situ Observations

Making climate-sensitive economic sectors resilient to climate trends and shocks, through adaptation to climate change and managing uncertainties associated with climate extremes, will require effective use of climate information to help practitioners make climate-informed decisions. The provision o...
