BRAC, Jameel Observatory-CREWSnet project to reduce poverty with climate adaptive innovations

Community Jameel and the Jameel Observatory Climate Resilience Early Warning System Network (Jameel Observatory-CREWSnet) will partner with BRAC, the international development organisation based in Bangladesh, to pilot climate forecasting and adaptation technologies in southwestern Bangladesh, with a view to expanding the project to Sudan. Led by Elfatih Eltahir, co-director of the Jameel Observatory and HM King Bhumibol Professor of Hydrology and Climate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the platform aims to increase the capacity of agricultural communities in climate vulnerable countries worldwide to handle the challenges of climate change.
