The WMO Conference on “Living with Climate Variability and Change: Understanding the Uncertainties and Managing the Risks” was organized to review the opportunities and constraints in integrating climate risks and uncertainties into decision-making in the core socio-economic sectors. Improved service delivery of National Meteorological and Hydrological Services. In particular, it should help National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) which are not currently providing climate services to visualize the possibilities and, perhaps, start creating services in their own environments and countries.

Use of Climate Predictions to Manage Risks. Global Framework for Climate Services Office. The purpose of this publication is to provide an understanding and examples of the range of currently available operational climate prediction products and services and climate products that are still under research and development with the potential of transitioning into operations. Demand for climate information to inform decision- and policymaking is growing as the private and public sectors increasingly recognize the relevance and value of such information for building climate resilience and in mitigating and adapting to changing climate. Switzerland. Common approaches to risk assessment and risk management strategies based on natural hazards have been applied to climate change impacts although there are distinct differences.
The purposes are as follows: Enhancing partnerships and cooperation in climate activities, mainly on adaptation to climate variability and change, Increasing the value of the contributions of WMO within the United Nations System, relevant to international climate … National and international databases provide high quality data on temperature, rainfall, wind, soil moisture and ocean conditions, as well as maps, risk and vulnerability analyses, assessments, and long-term projections and scenarios.
