The EU-funded ClimaSouth project recently conducted a training for Algeria’s Office National de la Météorologie (ONM) on the topic of climate downscaling in preparation for studies of climate change impacts on forest fires.
Material presented covered the topics of climate change, climate variability and downscaling. For specialized staff at the ONM, some lectures covered advanced topics including implementation of regional climate models.
The work will be further developed through collaboration between the ONM and Algeria’s Direction Générale des Forêts, with technical assistance provided during the assessment of climate change impacts on forest fire risk in Algeria.
The Clima South project seeks to enhance regional cooperation between the EU and its southern Mediterranean neighbours and among the partner countries themselves (South–South) on climate change mitigation and adaptation, mainly through capacity development and information sharing. The overarching goal is to support the transition of ENP South countries towards low carbon development and climate resilience.
