UNFCCC
WMO supports the United Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) process and every year participates in sessions of the Conference of the Parties (COP), by providing the latest scientific advice and information to governments, including on the state of the climate and greenhouse gas concentrations.
The Decision 5.1/2 (EC-78), invites WMO Members:
(1) To provide high-quality climate and hydrological science-based information, knowledge, and services, through enhanced operational exchanges of climate and hydrological information products required to increase progression towards resiliency and adaptation capacity and low emission pathways and net zero by 2050 under the Paris Agreement and contribute to climate-related national processes, strategies, and investments for the formulation and implementation of the 2025 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs3.0) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs);
(2) To engage with national and international institutions, stakeholders, and public and private financiers that can mobilize resources for enhancing Members’ institutional and operational infrastructure and networks to enable effective design and use of climate and hydrological information services for climate action and achieve country’s climate ambitions;
(3) To coordinate participatory, gender-inclusive, co-produced and user-driven approaches to climate and hydrological information and services under the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) through dedicated national institutional platforms such as the National Frameworks for Climate Services, that can support the integration of context-relevant knowledge, perspectives and solutions in the preparation and implementation of nationally relevant policy documents.
Through the same Decision, a number of actions are also requested by the Secretariat to enhance coordination and capacity development. For more information, refer to Document 5.1 on the list of approved documents:
