Climate predictions are inherently probabilistic statements about the future climate conditions on timescales ranging from seasons to decades or longer, and on spatial scales ranging from local to regional and global.

Experience capitalization, or “systematization” is an iterative process through which an experience (with its successes and failures) is identified, valued and documented in various media. This systematic process will allow learning of lessons and identification of good practices. Thanks to this approach, the practice can change and improve and may thereafter be adopted by others. (http://www.fao.org/3/ap784e/ap784e.pdf)

Ethane is an organic chemical compound with chemical formula C2H6. At standard temperature and pressure, ethane is a colorless, odourless gas. Ethane is isolated on an industrial scale from natural gas and as a petrochemical by-product of petroleum refining. Its chief use is as feedstock for ethylene production.
