STAP's regular bi-annual meeting with GEF Agencies and other partners was held on June 1, 2015, beginning at 10 AM. The meeting took place in the main building of the World Bank, corner of H Street and 18th - Conference Room MC C2-125.
In 2012 our STAP Postdoc on Climate Change Adaptation, Veronique Morin, participated in a graduate exchange program with Kyoto University.
