Technical Coordination Workshop of the Pacific Regional Climate Centre Network (PRCC-Network)

A remarkable progress has been made by PRCC-Network during the demonstration phase which commenced in 2018. The Network performs all mandatory and some of the highly recommended functions, providing high quality climate services to the Member countries of the region, also provides technical support to the Pacific Islands Climate Outlook Forums (PICOF), as one of its flagship activities. Through the ClimSA programme WMO initiated an evaluation of RCCs operations, including the PRCC-Network, and based on the findings a capacity development workshop has been proposed to enhance the capacities of the Network Nodes and facilitate the designation process. The Workshop will be held from 16 to 18 October 2024 in Nuku'alofa, Tonga, back-to-back with the Pacific Islands Climate Outlook Forum (PICOF), to be held on 14 and 15 October 2024. The Workshop is being co-organized and co-funded by WMO and South Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) through ClimSA Programme budget earmarked for this event. WMO will support the participation of invited resource persons and technical experts.
