Hirschfeld, Publ.date 9 May 2013, SciDev.Net Weekly Update (6 - 12 May 2013)
Think
tank aims to help build local tools to disseminate climate change knowledge
[MONTEVIDEO] South America has got its first
think-tank aimed at providing climate change
knowledge to decision-makers to help them design tools tailored to local needs.
The Regional Centre for Climate Change and Decision-Making was launched earlier this year (19 March) in Montevideo, Uruguay, where it will have its headquarters and where it is organising its first training event for policymakers.
The centre is a joint initiative by the Panama-based Avina Foundation, which promotes sustainable development in Latin America, and UNESCO (the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).

The centre is a joint initiative by the Panama-based Avina Foundation, which promotes sustainable development in Latin America, and UNESCO (the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).
Its programmes will be implemented through an
interagency partnership of ten universities and academic foundations from five
countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay.
Agustín Giménez, the national coordinator of
the Agroclimate and Information Systems Unit at the National Institute for
Agricultural Research in Uruguay, welcomes the initiative as a high-impact tool
for governments and the private sector in the region.
But he says that its impact will depend on the quality and applicability of the knowledge imparted.
