关于过去气候、最近趋势、可能的未来轨迹、异常和相关影响的决策相关信息是各级决策的先决条件。不幸的是，气候信息往往得不到，即使有，最需要的人也得不到。加强国家气候服务倡议是一项雄心勃勃的努力，旨在同时改善气候信息的提供、获取和使用。这是通过与非洲的国家气象和水文局合作来实现的，目的是开发高分辨率、时空完整的网格化历史气象数据集;制作一套派生的气候信息产品;并通过一个网络平台传播这些产品。ENERGY使NMHS能够克服数据质量、可用性和访问方面的挑战，提供更好的服务，同时促进利益相关者的参与和使用。新的数据产品可以在地方一级描述气候风险的特征，并为支持应用和研究提供机会。到目前为止，已在东非和西非萨赫勒地区的10个国家在国家一级和区域一级实施了该方案。本文件概述了在执行ENCONDITION方面的挑战和机遇，以及在整个非洲推广的潜力。
Decision-relevant information on the past climate, recent trends, likely future trajectories, anomalies and associated impacts is a prerequisite for decision-making at different levels. Unfortunately, climate information is often not available or, where it does exist, is inaccessible to those that need it most. The Enhancing National Climate Services (ENACTS) initiative is an ambitious effort to simultaneously improve the availability, access and use of climate information. This is accomplished by working with National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHS) in Africa to develop high-resolution, spatially and temporally complete gridded historical meteorological datasets; produce suites of derived climate information products; and disseminate them through a web-based platform. ENACTS enables the NMHS to provide enhanced services by overcoming the challenges of data quality, availability and access – while at the same time fostering stakeholder engagement and use. The new data products allow for characterization of climate risks at a local scale and offers opportunities to support applications and research. ENACTS has so far been implemented in 10 countries at the national level and at regional levels in East Africa and the West African Sahel. This paper provides an outline of challenges and opportunities in ENACTS implementation, and the potential for scaling up across Africa.
