This grant provides support for two workshops that will investigate the potential of empirical/statistical downscaling, a method to estimate how local climate is affected by regional and/or global conditions, to help develop a robust knowledge platform for decisions regarding adaptation to environmental change. This approach will bring together the research community, stakeholders and practitioners to establish a more rigorous foundation for the evaluation of data generated by this technique and to investigate the efficacy of including the data in outputs targeted at the needs of the adaptation and impact communities. The workshop will bring together an international community that will contribute a strong scientific base to a broad range of ongoing and proposed stake-holder relevant adaptation activities.

该赠款为两个研讨会提供了支持，这些研讨会将调查经验/统计降尺度的潜力，这是一种估计当地气候如何受到区域和/或全球条件影响的方法，以帮助开发一个强大的知识平台，用于适应环境变化的决策。这一方法将使研究界、利害关系方和从业人员聚集在一起，为评估这一技术产生的数据建立更严格的基础，并调查将数据纳入针对适应和影响界需求的产出的效力。研讨会将使国际社会聚集一堂，为正在进行和拟议的一系列与气候变化相关的适应活动提供坚实的科学基础。
