WMO Workshop on Advancing Regional Climate Centre Products and Services
Focus: African and Pacific Countries
Wrapping up an inspiring week at RIMES!
From 25 – 29 August 2025, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), in collaboration with RIMES, convened the Workshop on Advancing Regional Climate Centre (RCC) Products and Services at AIT, Thailand. The event brought together climate experts from across Africa and the Pacific to strengthen the role of RCCs in delivering timely, user-focused climate services.
Over five days, participants focused on:
Strengthening RCC capacity to provide high-quality climate services
Advancing Impact-Based Forecasting (IBF) for agriculture, water, energy, health, and disaster management
Expanding RCC products across sub-seasonal to climate change timescales
Practical training with the Climate Services Toolkit (CST)
Sharing innovations, good practices, and success stories across RCCs and RCC-Networks
The workshop highlighted the importance of collaboration, innovation, and co-production in building stronger climate services. With enhanced RCC capacity and stronger RCC–NMHS partnerships, this event has set the stage for better, faster, and more actionable climate information for communities across Africa and the Pacific.
