"The workshop provided regional scientists and practitioners a first-hand presentation of the latest research on climate science and impacts as well as a closer look at the cutting-edge methodologies underpinning this research,” says Kanta Kumari Rigaud, lead adaptation specialist of the World Bank. “The capacity-building workshop is part of the ongoing partnership between the World Bank and PIK-CA.”
The collaboration with the World Bank “is very productive already and keeps on intensifying,” says John Schellnhuber, director of PIK. “We very much appreciate that the World Bank relies on science for evidence-based decision-making. This should be the standard approach to creating value for public money, yet is not always the case these days."
