Weather, Climate, Water, and Sustainable Development

Weather, climate and water influence virtually all human activities, so almost every sector of the economy - health, energy, transport, food security, management of water, tourism -needs meteorological and hydrological services. This booklet shows how the application of weather-, climate- and water-related information can contribute to the socio-economic development of nations - especially those of the developing world - and the well-being of their populations.
