到本世纪初，人们更加认识到加勒比地区非常容易受到气候变化的影响。然而，该区域的气候变化科学信息非常少，而且在构成该区域大部分的小岛屿的规模上也是如此。为了填补这一差距，代表三个机构和四个地区（巴巴多斯、伯利兹、古巴和牙买加）的一组区域科学家发起了一个项目，为加勒比地区提供动态缩小尺度的气候变化信息。为影响研究提供区域气候（PRECIS）-加勒比倡议的前提是分担工作量，目标是建设区域能力，从区域内为该地区提供气候变化信息，在最短的时间内提供急需的气候信息。时间框架，并创建一个尽可能广泛共享信息的平台。十年后提供了回顾和评估的机会，特别是因为一个阶段...
By the beginning of the current century, there was heightened recognition that the Caribbean is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Yet, there was very little climate change science information for the region and at the scale of the small islands that make up most of the region. To fill the gap, a group of regional scientists representing three institutions and four territories (Barbados, Belize, Cuba, and Jamaica) initiated a project to provide dynamically downscaled climate change information for the Caribbean. The Providing Regional Climates for Impacts Studies (PRECIS)-Caribbean initiative was premised on a shared workload with goals to build regional capacity to provide climate change information for the region from within the region, to provide much needed climate information in the shortest possible time frame, and to create a platform for sharing the information as widely as possible. Ten years later offers the opportunity for retrospection and evaluation, particularly since a phas...
