By Amina Nazarli - Trend:
The second seminar on advanced automated meteorological
measuring and information systems for weather forecasters in
Ashgabat and Lebap region was organized in Ashgabat this week,

The event was organized by the U.S. Agency for International
Development (USAID)-funded Governance Support Program, in
partnership with the Hydrometeorology Service of Turkmenistan's
Agriculture and Environmental Protection Ministry and international
experts.
This week's seminar will train Turkmen meteorologists in
cutting-edge data collection and analysis techniques, helping to
improve weather forecasting, increase preparedness, and ultimately
strengthen climate resilience.
This event is part of a series of USAID-supported interventions
aimed at strengthening climate resilience in Turkmenistan.
The USAID-funded Governance Support Program, implemented by the
QED Group LLC, in partnership with Turkmenistan's government, aims
to strengthen accountability, effectiveness, and transparency of
governance in the country.
The Turkmen government is prioritizing the mitigation of climate
change risks and the development of climate resilience
strategies.
USAID supports the implementation of the country's National
Strategy on Climate Change by facilitating science and
technology-based solutions and increasing the capacity of the
government as well as citizens to adopt climate-friendly
practices.
Increased climate volatility related to climate change impacts
populations and economies around the globe, but reliable and
accurate weather forecasting can help governments and the public
plan and prepare for possible emergencies.
