Climate Risk Information System (CRIS) extends IDB-Funded Climate Data training in Belize

The Ministry of Sustainable Development and Climate Change, through the National Climate Change Office (NCCO), has extended its Climate Risk Information System (CRIS) training in Belize. This initiative, supported by the Ministry of Economic Development (MED), the University of Belize (UB), and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), took place at the Jaguar Building in Belmopan. The training was funded by the IDB.

CRIS focuses on the collection, analysis, and dissemination of essential climate data. The recent training aimed to enhance the capabilities of agriculture field officers and other key stakeholders. It also provided important insights into the use of CRIS in the tourism and agriculture sectors, helping participants understand its practical applications.

The collaboration between NCCO and its partners aims to enhance climate resilience and sustainability in Belize. The training is designed to support informed decision-making and strengthen the country’s ability to manage climate-related challenges.
