Climate Database Management
System A tool to manage, organise and store weather records
– To describe the climate
– To describe climate variability
– To understand climate change and its impacts
PCCSP, 2012
Why are climate data important?
Data Digitization
![Page 16: CAPACITY BUILDING WORKSHOP: BUILDING CLIMATE RESILIENT ... · improved National Meteorological Services • Implemented by SPREP in collaboration with the Finnish Meteorological Institute](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042308/5ed55a29c960084a397893a2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Global Framework for Climate Services
User Interface
Innovative mechanism that will:
• Provide ways for climate service users and providers to monitor requirements for climate services
• Provide forum for dialogue to understand needs of users and capabilities of providers
• Identify products and services requirements of users
• Increase the literacy of climate service users
• Monitor user satisfaction with the overall performance of the Framework
![Page 18: CAPACITY BUILDING WORKSHOP: BUILDING CLIMATE RESILIENT ... · improved National Meteorological Services • Implemented by SPREP in collaboration with the Finnish Meteorological Institute](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042308/5ed55a29c960084a397893a2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Climate Services
• Climate Products and
Information are NOT Services
unless they are used for
Decision Making
![Page 20: CAPACITY BUILDING WORKSHOP: BUILDING CLIMATE RESILIENT ... · improved National Meteorological Services • Implemented by SPREP in collaboration with the Finnish Meteorological Institute](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042308/5ed55a29c960084a397893a2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Value of Seasonal Forecasting
• Seasonal Forecasting is a
potential tool to inform
community short term
adaptation actions and long-
term adaptation design
![Page 21: CAPACITY BUILDING WORKSHOP: BUILDING CLIMATE RESILIENT ... · improved National Meteorological Services • Implemented by SPREP in collaboration with the Finnish Meteorological Institute](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042308/5ed55a29c960084a397893a2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Why?
– Many Communities in the region identify climate change impacts
to the impact of extreme events and climate variability
– If communities adapt to climate extremes and variability, they will
be better prepared for long term changes in the climate
– Seasonal forecasting can inform short-term and community-
based adaptation actions while we await CCA funds to be
available for larger interventons

• Collaboration between COSPPac, Solomon Islands Met. Service and Ministry of Health.
• Provide monthly or seasonal forecasts of
relative malaria incidence.
• Pilot scheme aims to provide forecasts for
Temotu, Guadalcanal and Central.
• Expansion to other provinces in 2014.
• Categorical warnings:
– low/moderate/high/extreme
– low/medium/high
• Include spatial map of warning levels in a

Regional Consultation on Climate Services
for Pacific Small Island States
April 2014, Rarotonga, Cook Islands
![Page 54: CAPACITY BUILDING WORKSHOP: BUILDING CLIMATE RESILIENT ... · improved National Meteorological Services • Implemented by SPREP in collaboration with the Finnish Meteorological Institute](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042308/5ed55a29c960084a397893a2/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
• Identify “insertion points/entry points/windows” where
climate services can be applied to support Agriculture
Activities
– El Nino and Livestock, ENSO and Alley Cropping, Flooding
and lowland farming
• lack of coverage of actual climate or rainfall monitoring
stations across the island(s)
• Currently a low uptake of climate services in the
agriculture sector - 3 month outlooks are not so useful
and rather longer term services are needed
• Training exchanges will be a must on climate services,
particularly if considering the use of extension officers
who are working directly with farmers
Discussion on Agriculture and Climate
![Page 55: CAPACITY BUILDING WORKSHOP: BUILDING CLIMATE RESILIENT ... · improved National Meteorological Services • Implemented by SPREP in collaboration with the Finnish Meteorological Institute](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042308/5ed55a29c960084a397893a2/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
• Climate information could use a number of informative tools
such as maps, statistics, and that the inclusion of these in
ways that make the climate information more easily
understood either by the intermediate user (say the
Agriculture/Fisheries researcher or extension officer) or the
final user (farmer/fisherman).
• The fostering of a relationship between the agriculture and
NMS will take time to develop.
• Being aware of the climate services available and their
applications is not generally known unless agriculture
researchers actively look for it, or climate services of NMS do
the same (in looking for end users to their products).
