In this episode of the WeatherPod, Alan Thorpe and David Rogers have invited Catalina Jaime, Senior Risk Adviser at the Red Cross-Red Crescent Climate Centre, into the studio.

Catalina coordinates the Forecast-based Financing concept worldwide for the Red Cross-Red Crescent Climate Centre and provides technical support for national Red Cross societies.
