Working together in weather, climate, and water, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) aims to bridge the gap between providers and users of climate information through the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS). The GFCS enables better management of climate risks and adaptation to climate change by incorporating science-based climate information into planning, policy, and practice.

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.

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.
