  1. Outcomes of WORLD CLIMATE CONFERENCE - 3 Omar BADDOUR & Hama KONTONGOMDE WMO

  2. Some statistics • There were around 1800 delegates • The 200 speakers in the Expert Segment • 14 Heads of States and governement • SG of the UN (Ban Ki-Moon) • 81 Ministers • 34 Heads of International organizations • Total number of participants 1943 • Voluntary Contributions : 4,354,279 CHF

  3. 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 decision-making

  4. 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.)

  5. 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)

  6. WCC-3 General Aspects • Expert Segment…. • High level Segment… • Declaration… • GFCS

  7. GFCS • Rational • WMO initiative to support Climate Adaptation • Components • Concluding Remarks

  8. 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

  10. Bridging the gap between providers and users of climate information

  11. 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. WORLD CLIMATE CONFERENCE - 3Geneva, Switzerland31 August–4 September 2009

  13. Elements of Climate Services Information System

  14. 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!
