Webinar (Sep 2, 2021): Experience with the WATERAPPS
This webinar features pioneering research and capacity-building work under the WATERAPPS and WATERAPPSscale project: Integrating scientific models with farmers’ traditional wisdom to develop weather and climate forecasts. The WATERAPPS research showed that combining scientific with local farmers’ forecast knowledge and co-producing forecast information results in improved climate and weather information services and has multiple advantages. This work also shows potential to bridge the gap between existing national weather and climate services and the local needs in the context of Bangladesh. During the webinar, various activities and insights will be presented with some concrete examples, including the ‘weather club’ example, where farmers jointly share, discuss, and prepare their farming activities according to the forecast information.
