Global Framework for Climate
Services
• Goal:
– Enable better management of the risks of
climate variability and change and
adaptation to climate change at all levels,
through development and incorporation of
science-based climate information and
prediction into planning, policy and practice.

GFCS: Objectives
• Provide a cooperative framework in which all nations,
International organizations, scientists and sectors will
work together to operationally provide climate information
to meet the needs of users;
• Enable users to benefit from improved user driven
climate information and prediction;
• Mobilize climate science globally to advance the skills
of seasonal-to-interannual and multi-decadal climate
predictions to generate and provide future climate
information on an operational basis;
• Cooperative global infrastructure to foster sharing new
advances in science and information.

Climate Risk Management Concept
• An integrated climate-environment-society
system
• Multidisciplinary cross-sectoral planning
• Undertanding of the user’s environment for
decision-making
• Knowledge of the historical climate of the
location(s), and potential future conditions; and
improvements to present knowledge to meet
user needs
• A sustained, collaborative, participatory process

Climate information, products,
predictions, services for CRM
Risk Assessment
Extensive HQ climate data; Hazard analysis; climate trends;
climate predictions (monthly, seasonal to decadal) and projections
Reduction of risk
in crisis response
and recovery
Weather forecasts and warnings via Early Warning Systems; real
time climate monitoring products; provider engagement with
emergency planning and response communities, the public and
other users; effective communications mechanisms
Preparedness to
reduce risk
Extensive HQ climate data; Hazard analysis; climate trends;
climate predictions (monthly, seasonal to decadal) and
projections; joint provider/user engagement in planning
Transfer of risk
Data and related information for use in financial and other
mechanisms
Development of
adaptation
strategies
The accumunlated knowledge of past present and future climate
patterns including potential changes in extremes/hazards; joint
provider/user engagement in planning

Summary thoughts: Humanitarian
• WMO is an S&T organization-unsurpassed capability on the technical
side of weather and climate, but not evenly distributed globally
• Technical inputs (data, information/products based on the data,
predictions, projections) are not enough for the sector
• The sector has complex and individually different decision processes –
would a single aproach from WMO and its NMHSs work equally well
for each component of the humanitarian sector?
• CUIP: concept established to address such issues – multidisciplinary,
interactive at all levels
• Understanding of climate susceptability of each sector/component not
fully known – applied climate research required
• Recognize benefits of a continuum of service (weather/hydromet,
climate, to climate change) and CRM approach
• Optimally for best use of climate information: simplify, reduce
duplication of effort, increase provider-user interaction/knowledge
• Capacity building – joint (internal/external) – this is a good start.
