This workshop will explore how the Centre’s global models can be translated into actionable insights for local stakeholders. We’ll discuss strategies for communicating complex data to inform decision-making, planning, and community engagement. Using examples from the Centre, participants will examine challenges and best practices for bridging the gap between global science and local applications, ensuring that model outputs are accessible, relevant, and useful
