Addressing vulnerability to climate change in LDCs: A Global Framework for Climate Services
![Page 2: By M. Jarraud WMO Secretary-General IVth UN Conference on LDCs ( Istanbul, 10 May 2011)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051623/56815973550346895dc6b869/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The frequency of hydro meteorological disasters is increasing, but we are saving more and more lives
Climate change will increase the risks even further2 closely related issues:
Climate change adaptation Disaster risk reduction
A need to: Further reinforce the capacities of the developing
world, especially LDCs Expand multidisciplinary partnerships
A Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) will contribute to provide all decision-makers with the most relevant information to support their national mandates
Natural disasters & climate change

The WCC-3 High-level segment agreed by acclamation : To establish of a Global Framework for
Climate Services (GFCS)

8 implementation principles
Prioritize capacity building for developing countries
Greater availability of climate services for all countries, in particular LDCs
3 geographic domains: global, regional and national A core GFCS element: operational climate services Governments to have a central role in GFCS
management, but each country will decide just how Free and open exchange of observational data, while
respecting national and international data policies To facilitate and to strengthen, but not to duplicate Based on user – provider partnerships which will
include all major stakeholders
