The 'World' Climate Research Programme (WCRP) is committed to engaging with all regions of the world. The WCRP Climate Research Forums will be aimed at engaging with the broader community and exchanging information and opportunities to further WCRP's vision, mission, and scientific objectives.
To work with us on this journey, 50 scientists from across the world have been nominated as WCRP Regional Focal Points:
- Regional Focal Points for Africa
- Regional Focal Points for South America
- Regional Focal Points for North and Central America and the Caribbean
- Regional Focal Points for Asia and Oceania
- Regional Focal Points for Europe and Western Asia
The WCRP Climate Research Forums are being held on a regional basis, but everyone is welcome to attend.
