Intra-ACP climate Services and related applications
ACP/FED/038-833

The UN Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) was established in 2009 at the World Climate Conference 3 organised by the UN World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) in 2009 to strengthen production, availability, delivery and application of science-based climate prediction and services. Climate services as defined by the GFCS include the timely production, translation, provision and use of climate data, information and knowledge for informed societal decision-making regarding climate risks. The specific objective of the ACP-EU  programme is to strengthen the climate services value chain by boosting Adaptation and Resilience to climate change in the ACP countries and regions and thus contributing towards the attainment of SDG 13 on Climate change as well as SDGs 2, 3,5,6, 14 and 15.
