    Capturing Rain, Empowering Communities

  • Communities around the world are confronted with the increasing challenges posed by climate change including rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and changing precipitation patterns. Reliable hydrometric and meteorological data are crucial for understanding these impacts and building climate resilience. Our Royal Rain Catchers programme seeks to expand the global hydrometric data network in data-deficient communities. Our rain catchers are custodians of weather stations and rain gauges that help to provide reliable hydrometric and meteorological data which is essential for informed decision-making and effective planning to address climate change impacts. By expanding the hydrometric data network and ensuring data accuracy through ground-truthing, this programme contributes to efforts aimed at building climate resilience and safeguarding vulnerable communities and ecosystems.

  • Partners from Ethiopia Skate joined the Bahamian-led Royal Rain Catchers team which is working to understand the changing climate through monitoring precipitation and developing community science skills that are transferrable to new and emerging industries within the blue, green, and orange economies.

    The Rain Gauge donated by Storm Interceptor Weather Network in The Bahamas will be installed at the Addis Ababa Skatepark to be used as an educational tool and essential data point to support our understanding of global water patterns and how they are changing, bringing two unlikely grassroots communities at the frontline of Climate Change closer together as they unite in the co-creation of climate solutions.

    Skate 4 Peace is an action born from the Action4Peace forum convened at the African Union in December 2022 and is part of the Action4Peace 2030 Campaign – a decade-long action campaign for sustainable peacebuilding.

    The co-creation of transboundary sustainable development solutions that unite mountain and island communities is an example of innovation that will solve our shared climate crisis.
