The Full Story
About
The University of Manitoba My Climate Risk Regional Hub (U2MCR2H) is a local activity focused on connecting climate information with communities in Manitoba and the Arctic. A regional initiative of the World Climate Research Programme My Climate Risk Lighthouse Activity, U2MCR2H seeks to provide the climate information, namely data and training, required to address community-defined questions and concerns at local scales in a risk-related context, through a non-hierarchical framework of knowledge exchange and shared values.
Mission
The U2MCR2H mission is to connect climate information with Arctic and Manitoba communities at local scales through a decision- rather than a prediction-based approach to climate science predicated on community-driven questions and needs in a risk-related context.
Vision
In keeping with the WCRP My Climate Risk Lighthouse Activity vision of providing climate information to communities in order to improve societal well-being, U2MCR2H seeks to establish a permanent and continuing non-hierarchical framework of 'communities of practice' (hamlets, urban and rural communities, industry, non-profit organizations, government) to equip communities with the knowledge and infrastructure required to inform risk-related decisions at local scales.
