Concept and Action Plan for Climate Services in Moldova

1 Jan 2019

The vision of the global framework for climate services (GFCS) is to enable better management of the risks of climate variability and change and adaptation to climate change through the development and incorporation of science-based climate information and prediction into planning, policy and practice on the global, regional and national scales. The GFCS aims to develop the capacity of countries to apply and generate climate information and products relevant to their particular concerns. Since many countries lack policies, institutions or human resources to enable them to take advantage of new or existing climate data and products or to establish a national dialogue on these issues, the capacity development component can be seen as a foundation that links and supports the other four pillars. The global framework for climate services is promoted and facilitated by the world meteorological organization (WMO) in cooperation with the GFCS partner advisory committee (PAC). Following the PAC’s identification of Moldova as a priority country, the World Bank as PAC member, together with the global facility for disaster reduction and recovery (GFDRR), volunteered to lead efforts in the country and has supported the conceptualisation and establishment of a national framework for climate services (NFCS) in Moldova. The action plan in the Annex presents elements of a road-map of how to get there in the short and the long-term perspectives.
