The World Climate Research Program (WCRP) Academy

The WCRP Academy is the research training advisory and coordination arm of the World Climate Research Program. It is the flagship activity for WCRP´s mission: “to develop, share, and apply climate knowledge that contributes to societal well-being” and works to equip current and future climate scientists with the knowledge, skills and attributes required to tackle the world’s most pressing and challenging climate research questions.

The foundation of the Academy is an online portal that connects training providers with users of training materials through a catalogue of climate science training activities and educational materials. The Academy ensures that the training that it shares is of high quality and, as such, is a legitimate source of professional and capacity development. The Academy is also exploring models for effective mentorship, best practice guides for climate science training and a WCRP Future Leaders Programme. The WCRP Academy is building a global community of climate researchers at all career stages to provide global networking and development opportunities to facilitate lifelong learning, global equity, and skills matching for current and future research projects. 

The WCRP Academy encourages and invites all research and expert groups, academic and research institutions, government agencies and non-government organizations who provide climate science training and education to register as training providers and contribute to our online training catalogue.
