Building climate resilience.

As the world faces increasingly frequent and intense weather and climate hazards, SERVIR continues to work with partner countries and communities to co-produce and use climate information, tailored to meet on-the-ground demand for strengthened climate adaptation. This quarter we are pleased to highlight some of SERVIR’s work to build climate resilience.

Supporting youth climate actors

Youth are not only the climate leaders of tomorrow, but their perspectives and innovations are necessary to address climate issues today.

Strengthening water data for climate resilience

Climate change creates serious threats to water security, such as amplifying drought and water scarcity or increasing flood risk. To build resilience to these challenges, decision makers need detailed water data, reliable forecasts, and pathways that make information accessible and actionable. This blog highlights our work Turning Data into Action: Three of the ways that SERVIR is strengthening water security.
