About the book >.>.> The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN). It is the UN system’s authoritative voice on the state and behaviour of the Earth’s atmosphere its interaction with the oceans the climate it produces and the resulting distribution of water resources. WMO has a membership of 188 Member States and Territories. It originated from the International Meteorological Organization which was founded in 1873. WMO was established in 1950 and in 1951 became the specialized agency of the United Nations for meteorology (weather and climate) operational hydrology and related geophysical sciences. As weather climate and the water cycle know no national boundaries international cooperation at a global scale is essential for the development of meteorology and operational hydrology as well as to reap the benefits from their application. WMO provides the framework for such international cooperation. Since its establishment WMO has played a unique and powerful role in contributing to the safety and welfare of humanity. WCC-3 World Climate Conference-3 (WCC-3) will establish an international framework to guide the development of climate services which will link science-based climate predictions and information with climate risk management and adaptation to climate variability and change throughout the world. The overarching theme of WCC-3 is climate prediction and information for decision-making: focusing on scientific advances in seasonal to interannual timescales and taking into account multi-decadal prediction. It includes the application of climate prediction and information to societal problems enabling adaptation to climate variability and change in various sectors that contribute to sustainable socioeconomic development such as agriculture and food security forestry energy water health urban and rural settlements infrastructure tourism wildlife trade and transport.
