Questions addressed at
meetings (see concept note)
•
What are the key areas of current and projected applications of the GFCS within the sector (short, medium and long term)?
•
Which geographic domains are of most relevance to the sectoral needs (global, regional, national)?
•
What are the key products required from the GFCS and over what space-time scales?
•
How can GFCS successfully contribute to decision making within the sector over the various space-time scales?
•
What capacity development is required in the sector of interest (over which space-time scales)?
•
What are the mechanisms for enhancing communication and uptake of GFCS products within the sector, including the
associated feedback?
•
Who should undertake the capacity development and how will it be funded (over the various space-time scales)?
•
What role(s) does the sector see being undertaken by NMHSs and WMO (over the various space-time scales)?
•
What does the sector see as the biggest challenge facing the implementation of the GFCS and what can the sector do to
overcome them?
•
Who are the key partners in capacity development efforts, and what are the optimal ways to pursue and sustain the
partnerships?
•
How does the sector see the coordination and priority setting under the GFCS being done?

Building under the GFCS
Implementation of capacity building
in areas
 Human capacity building includes:
 Increase interaction between providers & users
 Improve community collaboration & ability to generate
knowledge
 Mainstream climate change education into curricula at all
educational levels
 Train highly skilled human scientific talent for developing
countries
 Increase access to data, methods & tools
Implementation of capacity building
in areas
 Infrastructural & Institutional capacity building
includes:
 Establish clear mandates for CS
 Identify authoritative services
 Implement management process
 Enhance interaction between scientific knowledge and local
communities and indigenous peoples’ practices
 Improve current observation networks, climate databases
and computing powers at all levels

Implementation of capacity building
in areas
 Procedural capacity building includes:
 Improve communication between scientists and users (i.e.
scientist-user interaction platform)
 Develop an understanding of the necessary types of climate
information for decision making
 Develop an understanding of the complexity and
uncertainties of climate information
 Integrate user needs into applied research programs
 Define (quality) standards for climate information
generation
 Improve climate information through feedback mechanisms
Example
Guidelines and checklists to ensure adequate procedural capacity
National Level
 Mechanism to link with sectoral ministries & departments
 Mechanism to ensure rapid dissemination of early warning
information
 Sector-specific impact warning systems, indicators and alert
criteria, and risk/disaster management plans prepared
 Capacity to translate early warning information into local
languages
Provincial/district level
 National early warning messages received at the district
level
 Systems to ensure outreach of EWS to the most vulnerable
people in place
 Indigenous knowledge incorporated in EW systems
 Sector-specific impact outlooks and risk management plans
 Mechanisms to translate sector-specific outlook and risk
management plans
 Monitoring networks covering most vulnerable communities
Community level
 Early warning messages are received at the community
level
 Contingency and response plans prepared matching
categories of extreme climate events
 Systems to ensure outreach of EWS to the most vulnerable
people in place (including, if relevant, translation of
messages into local languages)
