In the future, they are likely to face the effects of climate change even more frequently. To help them adapt to the changing climate, we created a climate atlas for farmers in the Copernicus Demo Case project. With this atlas, we wanted to bridge the gap between the abstract and complex scientific climate models and the daily practice of the Kenyan farmer. A climate atlas can help them choose climate-resilient crops. Also, such an atlas can show at what time of year they can best grow these crops so that they are more likely to get higher yields.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to farmers, policy makers and extension workers can also make good use of the atlas, for example to determine what measures they can take to mitigate the effects of extreme precipitation or drought. For them, we also developed a training program as part of Nuffic&#8217;s Orange Knowledge Program. We used the <a href=\"https:\/\/climate.copernicus.eu\/climate-data-store\">Climate Data Store<\/a> (CDS) of the <a href=\"https:\/\/climate.copernicus.eu\/climate-data-store\">Copernicus Climate Change Service<\/a> (C3S), which provides global and publicly accessible climate information. The climate atlas and training program will eventually also have a place in JKUAT&#8217;s newly established Centre of Excellence on Climate Adaptation.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <div

meteorological and hydrological institute SMHI. They edited the data available through the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) based on the needs of small-scale farmers, the end users. We then organized &#8216;Climate Field Schools&#8217; with the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) in Juja and with local governments. These were trainings for (agricultural) extension workers and students in which they learned to deal with climate information.
