The creation of the KTRC was prompted by the realization that despite the proliferation of scientific studies on climate change at the national and international levels and the abundance of education and information materials on climate change and disasters on the internet and in some university libraries, these are not readily accessible to local communities that oftentimes are most vulnerable to disasters and the effects of climate change.
