Webinar and conferences

Technical webinars and scientific conferences play an important role in knowledge sharing and enhancing the capacities of the Energy and Meteorology communities. Organising and contributing to technical webinars has been a routine activity of the WMO Climate and Energy team to provide structure and cover a wide range of pertinent topics in the field of Energy and Meteorology, including net-zero emission, energy infrastructure resilience, full value chain weather and climate services and products, and data and modelling requirements.

The International Conference Energy and Meteorology (ICEM) is an initiative of the World Energy and Meteorology Council (WEMC) and has a history of more than 10 years. As the goals of the ICEM are aligned with the missions of the current CDP WMO SG-ENE is supporting the organisation and implementation of the next ICEM conferences, both financially and scientifically. Conferences are planned to be held every other year (as shown in Table 9) and will be held in different countries in a presential mode. The theme for each conference will be determined through a scientific committee that will be organised in partnership with other international organizations, companies, institutes, universities, and national public entities. Speakers and lecturers will be selected among the world-class scientists and experts in the field.
