Regional Association IV

Regional Association IV (North America, Central America and the Caribbean), established by the World Meteorological Congress, spans from the Arctic to the tropics and reflects great diversity in climate, territory and culture. It brings together 27 Members, including developed and developing States, Territories, Small Island Developing States and one Least Developed Country. The Association meets at least every four years to set regional priorities and work plans in line with the resolutions of Congress and the Executive Council.
