The Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS), initiated by WCC-3, addresses the challenges of climate variability and change. Successful implementation of the framework will lead to enhanced climate observations, research, monitoring and modeling, a transformation of that information into sector-specific products and applications, and their widest possible use by all sectors of society in decision-making. In so doing, it will contribute to disaster risk-reduction and socio-economic development, including achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.--Publisher's description.
