Webinars facts
The Clean Energy Solutions Center, in partnership with the Climate Knowledge Brokers Group (CKB), is hosting a no-cost, webinar-based training on the recently released Climate Knowledge Brokers Manifesto.
The vision of the Climate Knowledge Brokers Group (CKB) is a world in which people make climate sensitive decisions fully informed by the best available climate knowledge. To achieve this vision, the CKB has been built around a strong drive towards collaboration, exchange and the use of open data. The recently published Climate Knowledge Brokers Manifesto sets out these principles and calls for joint action to meet the massive climate knowledge challenges ahead.
In this webinar, Florian Bauer, member of the CKB Steering Committee and head of its Coordination Hub, will present the manifesto, its ideas, principles and visions. He will explain how climate knowledge brokers can lead the way towards more quality- and demand-driven information distribution. He will also explain how strong collaboration between brokers, users and funders will be essential to achieve this. The presentations will be followed by an interactive question and answer session with the audience.
