Climate Information Services (CIS) are critical in mitigating weather and climate-related risks. The “Mapping of the CIS data and usage landscape in the Philippines” initiative was conducted to better understand the breadth and scope of available climate data that contribute to CIS initiatives in the country.
Key project deliverables include:
- A comprehensive report that synthesizes insights and recommendations gathered through stakeholder engagement activities (i.e., key informant interviews). It also summarizes findings from literature reviews and identifies research activities relevant to climate impact services.
- A data catalog serving as a reference for essential climate datasets.
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH has a joint project with the Philippines’ Climate Change Commission (CCC) entitled “Towards South-South Collaboration on Climate Information Services: Building a Knowledge Exchange and Learning Platform for the Philippines and the Climate Vulnerable Forum (SSCIS)”.
This project aims to develop CIS jointly with key stakeholders to contribute to an expanded knowledge base that may aid in making informed decisions concerning adaptation and mitigation measures on the adverse impacts of climate change.
