3 WELCOME TO THE TRAINING COURSE On behalf of the organising committee, we would like to invite you to this Training Course on Climate and Energy, which will be held at the 5-star Regal Internation East-Asia Hotel in Shanghai. The course will bring together guest lecturers to provide an in-depth exploration of the current frontiers in the energy and climate nexus. The course will also offer opportunities for discussions and practical examples, and these activities will be aimed at the drafting of mini-proposals for an energy climate service. The aims of the course are: to update energy practitioners on the state-of-the-art in weather and climate modelling and forecasts at different timescales. to create awareness about the application of weather & climate information for the energy sector and help foster a dialogue between both communities to address major energy challenges in upcoming years. We look forward to meeting you and interacting with you there!
