Extreme Climate Events have caused serious impact in the Asia-Pacific region, including Indonesia . Extreme climate events associated with the ENSO event that occurred in 1997/1998 caused a total loss of about eight billion US dollars at the global level and almost half a billion US dollars at the national level ( Indonesia ). Historical data showed that the frequency of extreme climate events tended to increase while capacity to adapt to such events has yet to be developed. The production of good climate forecasts that are timely is very important to improve the adaptive capacity to extreme climate events. This project is expected to increase the understanding and to develop capacity of local scientists on climate information application and their working relationship with policy-makers in assisting farmers to address climate-related problems. Institutionalizing climate information applications is expected to be a long process as it will involve various institutions and different groups of communities. Good understanding and scientific knowledge as well as networking between scientific communities, policy-makers and intermediaries will help accelerate this process.
