Capacity Building Training on scientific article writing

South Asia is one of the most vulnerable regions to climate shocks. More than half of all South Asians in the 8 countries (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) were affected by one or more climate-related disasters in the last two decades. The changing climate could sharply diminish living conditions for up to 800 million people in a region.

However, the climate research in this region is very poor. The skill and capacity of early and mid-career researchers on emerging issues related to climate change are not sufficient to produce and co-create knowledge, and policy actions. Center for People and Environ-South Asian Research Hub is planning to organize three days of training (virtual and onsite) to build the scientific article writing capacity of early and mid-career researchers from South Asian countries.
