| Publisher Description: The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is providing $1.5 million for the Climate Data and Capacity Enhancement program to work with the Caribbean Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology to address the need for adequate and accurate climate data and human resource expertise in climate analysis and technological capacity. Activities supported by this funding may include improving monitoring and forecasting of drought conditions, rainfall, temperature, and wind, as well as developing and providing regular climate change information updates to stakeholders in the region. Additional activities supported by this funding may include developing seasonal forecasting capabilities for sectors such as agriculture, water resources, and tourism. This support will help the region build resilience to climate change. |
