Workshop title: Bridging Global Models with Local Stakeholders
Timings and location: 17th December at King’s College London, Bush House (SE) Room 2.01 – 10:30-13:30
This workshop explored how the Centre’s global models can be translated into actionable insights for local stakeholders. We discussed strategies for communicating complex data to inform decision-making, planning, and community engagement. Using examples from the Centre, participants examined challenges and best practices for bridging the gap between global science and local applications, ensuring that model outputs are accessible, relevant, and useful.
