Description
The PCCSP and the PACCSAP science activities aim to improve the scientific understanding of past and future climate in the region to effectively inform adaptation. The research covers - past climate change and seasonal predictions, climate variability and large-scale climate features, climate projections and oceans. The research is complemented with a comprehensive capacity building program and science communication products and activities.
