  11. Examples of initial GFCS elements 31st Greater Horn of Africa Climate Outlook Forum; Djibouti, May 2012 Capacity Development to extend GFCS benefits to the developing world IGAD Pilot RCC: Greater Horn of Africa consensus-driven climate outlook; July - September 2011 11

  12. Other examples

  13. Possible initial implementation activities & projects • Establish Framework leadership & management • Define national mandates in climate services provision • Strengthen capabilities in disaster risk reduction • Improve communication between climate, agriculture and food security communities • Enhance partnerships between climate services and water resources management • Develop national working groups in climate and health • Improve decision-making on climate-related risks • Strengthen climate information regional infrastructure • Advance in data recovery and digitizing • Launch pilot projects

  14. End 2012: A detailed GFCS implementation plan aligned with WMO Congress decisions will be considered at the inaugural Framework Board intergovernmental plenary meeting; End 2013: Organizational phase completed, including supporting secretariat and the relevant management & technical committee structures; End 2017: Global access to improved climate services for the 4 initial priority sectors, establishing the relevant technical committees and a communication programme; completion of GFCS implementation mid-term review; End 2021: Global access to improved climate services across all climate sensitive sectors Anticipated GFCS milestones beyond the WMO Congress extraordinary session 14

  15. Summing-up • 3 closely-related issues: • Adaptation to climate variability and change • Disaster risk reduction • Sustainable development & societal benefits • Requirements: • Reinforcing developing countries' adaptive capabilities • Multidisciplinary partnerships across all sectors • Capacity building to be seen as an investment, not an expenditure • A key opportunity: • A Global Framework for Climate Services
