Technology
1. Deliver and improve access to high-quality weather, climate and water
and related environment predictions, information and services in
response to users’ needs and to enable their use in decision-making by
all relevant societal sectors
2. Reduce risks and potential impacts of hazards caused by weather,
climate and water and related environment elements
3. Produce better weather, climate, and water and related environmental
information, predictions and warnings to support in particular climate
impact and adaptation strategies
4. Access, develop, implement and use integrated and interoperable
Earth-and space-based systems for weather, climate and hydrological
observations, as well as related environmental observations, based on
world standards set by WMO
5. Contribute to and draw benefits from the global research capacity for
weather, climate, water and environment science and technology
development
Main Objectives of the WWRP
•
To improve public safety and economic productivity by accelerating research on the prediction of
high-impact weather.
•
To demonstrate improvements in the prediction of weather, with emphasis on high-impact events
through the exploitation of advances in scientific understanding.
