Ogmius exchange


CSTPR’S Red Cross/Red Crescent Climate Centre Internship Program is featured in this issue of Ogmius. Now in its second year, the program seeks to improve climate change communication and adaptation decision-making in response to climate variability and change within the humanitarian sector. It connects humanitarian practitioners from the Red Cross/Red Crescent Climate Centre, an affiliate of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, with science-policy graduate student researchers at the University of Colorado through placements in IFRC regional field offices in Southern and East Africa for approximately 3 months each summer. Leslie Dodson and Drew Zachary, the 2014 interns, discuss their internships:
