Prof. Michael Taylor of the University of the West Indies conducts 'climate SMART workshops' for technocrats from various small island nations to bridge the gap between global climate science and local decision-making. These workshops employ interactive methods, such as games and role play, and utilize local science and simplified messaging to make IPCC findings relevant and actionable for sector workers.

• Prof. Michael Taylor conducts two-day 'climate SMART workshops' for technocrats from small island nations, including participants from The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Cayman Islands, Haiti, Jamaica, and the Turks and Caicos Islands, to explain how climate science influences decision-making.
• The workshops use a combination of presentation slides, interactive games, role play, and local science—including historical change and future projections—to contextualize IPCC reports and make them meaningful for participants.
• The use of simple, memorable phrases such as "Climate and U: Unfamiliar, Unprecedented, Urgent" is employed to help participants understand and retain core climate principles.
