Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are common goals for the global community to achieve. Seventeen SDGs have been determined in General Assembly of the United Nations in 2015. These goals are composed of three main topics: social issues, economic issues, and environmental issues. Climate is one of the most important factors that affect many issues across the main topics of the SDGs.
As local climate information are indispensable for the assessment of local climate or environment, downscaling has been, for more than 25 years, believed to be a good technique to produce such local climate data. On the other hand, some researchers still suggest that downscaling is only a transient research field, which would disappear if the resolution of global models (GCM) becomes high enough. There are also more optimistic suggestions that downscaling research field continues as it responds to the diverse and specific demands of impact study researchers and end-users.
In this workshop, we would like to discuss two main issues.
In the workshop, we expect to have a free discussion on the potential of downscaling research.
*17 goals to transform our world, from SDGs
