WORLD CLIMATE CONFERENCE - 3 Geneva, Switzerland, 31 August 4 September
2009
Theme: Climate prediction and information for decision making
Vision: “An international framework for climate services that links science-based climate predictions and information with the management of climate-related risks and opportunities in support of adaptation to climate variability and change in both developed and developing countries.”

- 1st WCC (1979)• Examined influence of climate on society and
called for action regarding the threat of climate change
• Establishment of World Climate Programme (IOC/UNESCO, ICSU)
• Establishment of IPCC in 1988 (WMO, UNEP)
- 2nd WCC (1990)• Called for action to arrest build up of greenhouse
gases
• Establishment of GCOS (WMO, UNEP, ICSU and IOC/UNESCO)
• Provided the scientific foundation and political endorsement for negotiation of UNFCCC

WCC-3 should:•produce significant concrete outcomes of both near-term and long-term economic and social benefit to WMO Members, the private sector, and the general public;•result in practical outcomes of direct relevance to policy makers, the private sector and the public and should strengthen linkages among the scientific and users communities

WMO EXECUTIVE COUNCIL-LX WMO EXECUTIVE COUNCIL-LX JUNE 2008 JUNE 2008
The outcomes should:• bridge the gap between IPCC assessment
reports and the required services to adapt to climate variability and change at regional and national levels.
• address the observation and data needs, which influence adaptation strategies, impact assessments, and climate diagnostics and projections.

CONCLUSIONS FROM THE CONCLUSIONS FROM THE EXPERT SEGMENTEXPERT SEGMENT
• Great scientific progress has been made over the past 30 years
• Present capabilities to provide effective climate services fall far short of meeting present and future needs
• Most urgent need is for much closer partnership between the providers and users of climate services
• Major new and strengthened research efforts are required to increase the time range and skill of climate prediction
