Description
1) Objective
There is a need for increased focus on and attention to adaptation to future impacts of climate change. Quality weather and climate information are important tools that can be used for preparing for and reducing the negative consequences of serious climate-related events. Climate and weather services may improve stakeholders’ capacity to monitor, forecast, plan for, and cope with the impacts of climate and weather-related events. Early warning can prevent loss of life and livelihood. The weather and climate information needs to enable decision-makers, as well as end users to understand the information and to act.
The collection and analysis of data require sufficient infrastructure, technology, and capacity at local and national level. Additionally, the information needs to be communicated in a way that the end-users understand it and act on it. This entails tailoring communication to the various groups of end users. According to the end users’ needs, the weather and climate services may be linked to non-meteorological data, such as road and infrastructure maps, demographic data and census information, food and agricultural production, health sector information, and socio-economic variables.
