A Dialogue for Climate Services Users and Providers: Towards Implementation of the governance model the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS)
The WMO and partner agencies will convene a two-day Dialogue between the users and providers of climate information and services in conjunction with the forthcoming Extraordinary World Meteorological Congress. The purpose of the dialogue is to establish a solid foundation for the intergovernmental deliberations on the implementation of the GFCS. Noting that the User Interface Platform (UIP) remains the “pillar” of the GFCS that is least well defined, the Dialogue will give particular attention to defining and characterizing how the UIP will be implemented so as to continuously add value to the GFCS.
The Dialogue will further the stakeholders’ understanding of how implementation can assist decision making “on the ground” and how to better work across communities so as to maximize the benefits of the GFCS at the national, regional and global levels. The Dialogue will also provide an opportunity for climate services users and providers to learn from one another about the challenges and opportunities ahead, thus paving the way for effective implementation of the GFCS. An important focus of the discussion will be linking the service requirements with the end-to-end GFCS capability characterized in its “pillars”; Observations and Monitoring, Research, Modeling and Prediction, Climate Service Information Systems, User Interface Platform (UIP), and the overarching one of Capacity Building.
