Rationale-1: Towards Improved Climate
information and services
• Climate information is expected to have and expanded
market at all level of decision-making and operational
activities
–
–
–
–
Climate data
Climate analysis and monitoring capabilities
Specialized climate forecast products – Must become user centric
Climate risk modelling tools – Critical for decision making
• There is significant diversity in supply and demand of
climate information
– Needs, requirements and capabilities of providers
– Needs and requirements of the users related to policy and decisionmaking
Rationale-2: Evolving requirements and
needs for supporting adaptation to
climate variability and change
• Requirements
– Enhanced observation and continuous monitoring
– Climate research and modelling
– Climate predictions and projections, including their
interpretation
– Understanding human-climate interactions
• Operational frameworks for provision of climate information
– Global (GPCs, ..)
– Regional (RSMCs, RCCs,RTCs,..)
– National (NMHSs)
• Awareness and capacity building:
– Methods and Tools (e.g., Climate Watch System, Regional
Climate Outlook Forums)
– Technological and know-how packages (WIS, WIGOS)
– User liaison in climate-sensitive sectors
• Enhanced partnerships within International Framework (e.g.,
UNFCCC Nairobi Work Programme, Bali Action Plan, etc.)
WMO Initiative to Support Climate
Change Adaptation
• Mission: To facilitate provision of user oriented climate
information, products, advisories and services to support
national and regional climate risk assessment, climate
adaptation
(Endorsed by WMO Executive Council in June 2008)

Objectives
• Facilitate use of climate information for
mainstreaming climate risks in decision making
• Make available data and information for developing
adaptation strategies and integrating them in national
development agenda
• Enhance the national capacities for the provision of
user-oriented climate information
• Help develop regional capacities
• Support the scientific foundation for climate
adaptation strategies

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.

Concluding Remarks
• Climate Monitoring including all components of
observations -from all types of platforms-, and
products generation will be critical to ensure
authentic and comprehensive inputs for GFCS, in
response to and evolving with user requirements.
• CCl will have an important role in the GFCS, ( Ref. CCl MG
Recommendation)
• ET.2.2 meeting is critical and timely to formulate
strategic thinking during the CCl XV and its TC
• ET2.2 experts participation in both events is
important!
