2 slides…Not a problem• Partnerships• Each GFCS priority area has strong relationships with many institutions at many levels, but the engagement of WMO, WHO, UNEP, UNESCO and UN
Water, ISDR, FAO, UNDP and WFP is essential if stakeholder dialogues are to be efficiently coordinated. So is that of non-government stakeholders representing climate service user communities in all four priority areas such as the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. Where there is a strong relevance of their work to that of the Framework, international non-government organizations are also encouraged to join in the dialogues.
• > Potential GFCS partners at the global, regional national levels• WMO GFCS Office partnerships• Integrated Drought Management Programme (IDMP)• The concept of the Integrated Drought Management Programme (IDMP) is based on 10 years of success from the Associated Programme
on Flood Management (APFM) which is a joint project of the WMO and the Global Water Partnership (GWP). In 2013, the IDMP will continue to develop the governance structure and to further refine the concept note on Drought Management that was developed from the Consultation Meeting.
• > Learn more• WMO-WHO Project Office on Climate and Health• With a view to advancing the collaboration between the WMO and WHO towards implementation of the GFCS, a joint Programme Office on climate and
health is needed and will soon be established. The Programme Office will support the development of specific activities emanating from the Implementation Plan of the Global Framework for Climate Services, and respective Annexes and Exemplars, to promote the development and application of climate services in support of health decision-making.
• Associated Programme on Flood Management (APFM)• The mission of the APFM is to support countries in the integrated management of floods within the overall framework of integrated water resources
management.• > Learn more• Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC)• The IOC aids and advises policy-makers and managers in the reduction of risks from tsunamis, storm surges, harmful algal blooms (HABs) and other
coastal hazards by focusing on implementing adaptation measures to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable coastal communities, their infrastructure and their service-providing ecosystems.

What is the Climate Services Information System (CSIS)
• Global, regional and national dimensions
• Manage climate and related data• Monitor and analyse climate,
including extremes• Assess and attribute events• Climate predictions and
projections• Products on past, present and
future climate• Capacity development• Has most number of linkages
than any other pillar
…the component most concerned with the generation and dissemination of climate information
• Opportunities– ‘Killer’ products changing key
decisions– Weather & climate extremes,
disaster risk reduction– Seamless integration aligning
with customer needs
• Challenges– Sustainable observations– Standards and integration, refer
Amazon, eBay– Research to operational
services, e.g. GPC products, access to large datasets
– Sustained customer focus
– ‘Killer’ products, e.g. forecasts for dam operations
– Weather & climate extremes, disaster risk reduction
– Reducing ‘barriers to entry’… leveraging from global and regional centres
• Challenges– Sustainable observations and
databases– Building and retaining capacity…
climate knowledge and customer engagement
– Sustainability…shifting from project to programmatic funding
