Co-designed and tailored solutions for United Nations (UN) and Humanitarian Agencies (HA)
The WMO Coordination Mechanism (WCM), a core element of the Early Warnings for All (EW4All) initiative, supports crisis-prone and conflict-affected regions with expert advice and situational awareness.
WCM delivers co-designed and tailored solutions to United Nations (UN) and Humanitarian Agencies (HA), curating authoritative weather, climate and water information and expert advice from WMO Members and Centres, advancing early action, enhancing preparedness efforts, and providing crisis support. It also plays an important role in terms of capacity building.
Since 2022, thanks to the contributions from WMO Members and Centres, UN / HA and Partner Organisations, over 600 WCM products (scans and briefings) have supported humanitarian agencies in saving lives and livelihoods (e.g. WCM HydroMet Scans for the Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm MOCHA in Myanmar / Bangladesh in 2023, earthquake-impacted areas in Myanmar in 2025, on-going drought in Somalia).
WCM Core Activities:
- Facilitate access to authoritative weather, climate and water information, and expert advice from WMO Members / Centres to UN / HA
- Advance humanitarian Early Action and Crisis Support, through co-designed and tailored solutions (WCM Service Delivery)
- Contribute to UN and HA activities (e.g. EW4All initiative, Inter-Agency Standing Committee-IASC groups, AI pilot projects)
- Provide capacity building for WMO Members / Centres and UN / HA
- Increase the visibility of WMO Members / Centres within UN / HA community
