We warmly invite you to the WCRP Climate Research Forum for South America, to take place on 8 and 9 September 2021. This is a two-day event, with sessions on the 'My Climate Risk’ Lighthouse Activity, the ‘Regional Information for Society’ (RIfS) Core Project, capacity development in South America, and WCRP, Future Earth, and the UN Ocean Decade. For more information and to register, please see the webpage in English and Español. 

Now, more than ever, the world needs climate scientists. A key part of building the climate research workforce needed to address the challenges of this century is broadening access to climate science training. The WCRP Academy Lighthouse Activity is being designed to make positive steps towards giving more scientists access to the training they need. A key pillar of this is an annual, global stocktake of training needs.

We invite climate scientists, those who would like to train in climate
