APEC Climate Center (APCC) located in Busan, South Korea, aims at realizing the APEC vision of regional prosperity by providing climate information services and technical support for better regional planning and reduction of economic losses due to adverse climate conditions. APCC produces real-time operational climate prediction information based on a well-validated multi-model ensemble system, with contributions from over 17 institutes in the APEC region. APCC contributes to building capacity in prediction and monitoring of weather and climate for developing countries by making available costly climate data and information. Developing countries without the capacity to produce their own climate predictions are able to access optimized, high-cost global climate predictions produced by APCC. 

The APEC Climate Center (South Korea) will host a training program in August 2013 on "Producing High-Resolution Climate Information: Scientific Basis and Application." The program invites applications from young scientists at research institutes in developing countries who are working in climate science or a climate-related field. It also invites professionals at national and regional meteorological agencies who work in climate prediction and monitoring. 

The program will fund participants' airfare, accommodation, and perdiem.

Participants who successfully complete the training program will receive a certificate of completion. The program will be taught by a highly qualified and diverse team of scientists.

The details of the program are following;
