EMPOANDES: Empowering Andean Societies to Improve Adaptation to Climate Change through the Co-creation of Climate Services Capacities

EMPOANDES is a regional project designed to strengthen the capacities of higher education institutions and technical organizations in the Andean region through curricula, training programmes and open educational resources aligned with World Meteorological Organization competencies. The project promotes education for students, professionals and citizens, the co-creation and communication of climate information, the use of data-analysis and impact-modelling tools, and cooperation among universities, research centres and meteorological services. Its expected results include improved capacity to use climate services, support decision-making and respond to climate variability and extreme events.
