White Paper on the Contribution of the Global Framework for Climate Services to Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (Agenda 2030)
Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (Agenda 2030) is a plan of action for people, the planet and prosperity, which seeks to strengthen universal peace in greater freedom. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) identified under Agenda 2030 provide a universal, transformative and integrated ambition that will provide an aligned pathway for the activities of UN Members, international organizations within and beyond the UN system, as well as the entire sphere of entities and individuals having a stake in sustainable development.
Priority Needs for the Operationalization of the Global Framework for Climate Services (2016–2018)
The global community is rapidly putting in place measures to protect societies from adverse socioeconomic and environmental impacts caused by extreme weather-, climate- and water-related events, and also to take maximum advantage of any positive benefits of these changes that may exist. However, many projects are being undertaken in isolation, in the absence of mechanisms for alignment of the diverse efforts being made at project level, and without conforming to relevant international standards. This can result in duplication of efforts, which may prove unsustainable or ineffective in the long ...
WWRP, 2016-4. Catalysing Innovation in Weather Science: WWRP Implementation Plan 2016-2023
Weather-related disasters pose a major threat to society, the environment and the economy. As the vulnerability to weather related hazards increases due to climate change, growing population, urbanization and other factors it is imperative to coordinate weather research targeted towards improving forecasts and warnings at international level. The impacts resulting from the underpinning hydro-meteorological events such as heat waves, droughts, floods, landslides, wind storms, landfalling tropical cyclones or severe convective storms are regional or local in nature. Many of these disasters, howe ...
Driving Innovation Together: The World Weather Research Programme
In view of the increasing pressure on water resources, National Hydrological Services (NHSs) worldwide are faced with the challenge to deliver hydrological services of high quality, timeliness and proven credibility, to assist the decision making process of water and natural resources managers. Nowadays, it is commonly expected that these services must be based on information that includes an accurate assessment of its uncertainty. Stream discharge, the basic hydrological variable, is no exception, yet most measurements are still reported as a value without any information on its associated un ...

Bulletin, Vol. 65(1). WMO, 2016Due to human-induced climate change, the planet is undergoing many changes. “We have had years of record Arctic sea ice minimum. We have lost a massive area of northern hemisphere snow cover, probably by more than 1 million square kilometers in the past 15 years,” elaborates David Carlson, Director of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). “We are working in a different climate and we do not fully understand the new patterns emerging.” It is in this spirit that the WCRP and the World Weather Research Programme (WWRP) have emphasized the need to form an association where young applied sci ...WMO Supporting the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

Au lendemain de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, les gouvernements et les sociétés ont reconnu que la météorologie, l’hydrologie et la climatologie pouvaient contribuer à la sécurité et l’effi cacité du transport aérien et à la modernisation de plusieurs autres secteurs du commerce et de l’industrie ainsi qu’à la protection des personnes et des biens contre les aléas naturels. Cependant, pour que cela soit possible, les Services météorologiques et hydrologiques nationaux (SMHN) devraient assumer plus de responsabilités et porter une attention plus grande à l’enseignement et à la formation afi n de ...Programme mondial de recherche sur la prévision du temps: perspectives pour les 10 prochaines années
La prévision du temps a fait des progrès immenses grâce à la recherche et aux avancées réalisées dans les domaines des télécommunications, des technologies de l’information et des infrastructures d’observation. Les limites des capacités de prévision dépassent désormais les 10 jours dans certains cas, et on arrive de plus en plus souvent à diff user, plusieurs jours à l’avance, des alertes précoces concernant les phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes. Les méthodes de prévision d’ensemble fournissent régulièrement des informations sur la probabilité d’événements particuliers et jouent un rôle clé ...

Climate services have the potential to contribute to human security by improving our ability to enhance societal benefits, and reduce losses, related to climate. As natural climate patterns continue to change, society will want more timely and reliable climate services to help them gain an understanding of climate risks and for guidance on how to take advantage of related opportunities. 1 2Celebrating Fifty Years of WMO Regional Meteorological Training Centres
Following the second World War, governments and corporations recognized that the sciences of meteorology, hydrology and climatology could contribute to safety and efficiency in aviation, and advances in many other sectors of commerce and industry, and to the protection of human lives and property from natural hazards. To achieve those goals, National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) would have to expand their range of responsibilities and place greater emphasis on education and training in order to have capable and effective staff. Accordingly, enshrined in the WMO Convention s ...The World Weather Research Programme: A 10-year Vision
Bulletin, Vol. 64(1). WMO, 2015Weather prediction has achieved immense progress, driven by research and increasingly sophisticated telecommunication, information technology and observational infrastructure. Predictive skill now extends in some cases beyond 10 days, with an increasing capability to give early warning of severe weather events many days ahead. Ensemble methods now routinely provide essential information on the probability of specific events, a key input in numerous decision making systems. Partly because of these advances, the needs of the users of weather services have simultaneously diversified to encompass ...The Weather: What’s the Outlook?
New sources of atmospheric observations, faster supercomputers and advances in science together revolutionized weather forecasting in the latter part of the 20th century. On the global scale, we can today predict up to five days ahead as accurately as we could do for three days 20 years ago. This means society has much more advance warning of weather hazards than before, permitting people to prepare and, thereby, limit the loss of lives and property. Expectations are high for even greater advances in the years to come.
