World Climate Research Programme

The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) aims to improve climate predictions, understand human influence on climate, and facilitate the analysis and prediction of earth system variability for practical applications. Examples include the Africa Atlas, train-the-trainer workshops, and seasonal prediction tools. WCRP provides scientific know-how and grassroots support while partnering with GEO for wide communication and networking.
