World Meteorological Organization

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) serves as the authoritative voice of the United Nations on matters related to the Earth's atmosphere, weather, climate, and water resources. With a mandate that encompasses meteorology, operational hydrology, and geophysical sciences, WMO promotes international cooperation among its 193 Member States and Territories to enhance the understanding and application of meteorology.

WMO provides a vital framework for the exchange of data, products, and services, facilitating real-time access that supports societal safety and economic welfare. Through collaboration with national meteorological and hydrological services, WMO plays a crucial role in addressing climate-related challenges and environmental protection. Its initiatives bolster the implementation of key UN agreements and offer strategic advice to governments.

Headquartered in Geneva, WMO also focuses on sustainable development goals and the continuous advancement of atmospheric sciences, ensuring that nations are equipped to manage weather and climate impacts effectively. Through its various programs and partnerships, WMO is instrumental in safeguarding the well-being of communities worldwide.
