  4. Information about past climate – extremes and means 5

  5. The Global Framework for Climate Services- What are climate services? Answer: Information to meet the needs of the climate vulnerable – that is, everyone

  6. Climate Services Monthly Forecast of Fire Risk (China, March 2010) Famine Early Warning System Forecast (3rd quarter 2010)

  7. More Examples Frost Risk Maps Extent of Floods Rainfall Northern China Continued higher than average flows more likely for May to July period The La Niña event in the Pacific continues to decay and average to below average rainfall occurred in April over most of New South Wales and Victoria. However most forecast locations reported above average streamflows in April and higher than average flows continue to be the most likely outcome for almost all sites during the May to July period. The forecasts for the Loddon basin and for the total inflow to Dartmouth Dam are starting to become less emphatic in favouring higher than average flows. As a result the forecast likelihood of average flow conditions for these three sites is increased Text Products Graphical Products and Data The products behind the services

  8. Components of Framework

  9. Data Voids in Developing World

  10. Skills Shortages in Developing World

  11. Climate Services Deficit in the Developing World? The Taskforce was unanimous in its belief that climate services do not get the last mile to those who need them the most – and that this must be addressed.

  12. Climate Services for Disaster Risk Reduction Understand the nature and likely frequency of climatic hazards (the climatology). Understand the possible impacts of the hazards (the impact climatology). Build a community that, to the extent possible is resilient to these hazards (Reduce the risk).

  13. Reducing global death rates from climate-related events further

  14. Governments and development assistance agencies give high priority to national capacity building in developing countries • Rapidly strengthen, or create new regional elements of the Framework

  15. Agriculture Disaster risk reduction Water Health Priorities for the first four years of implementation

  16. Summary • Climate Services are vitally important for improved decision making for the poorest, most vulnerable individuals to the largest governments • Investment in the Framework is needed to make it work • It is time for all organizations that can benefit from improved climate services to work with this initiative
