正文(英文) | The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the World Bank and its Global Facility for Disaster Risk Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) have committed to intensify joint action in order to improve country capacities that build resilience to extreme weather events, climate and disaster impacts. An Action Plan for scaling up World Bank/GFDRR/WMO Collaboration was signed during a meeting between World Bank interim President Kristalina Georgieva, World Bank Vice President Laura Tuck and WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas on 1 April. The discussions at World Bank headquarters in Washington came during a series of top-level meetings during Mr Taalas' visit to the United States of America. Mr Taalas provided a briefing on the WMO Statement on the State of the Global Climate in 2018, launched with UN Secretary-General António Guterres at the United Nations in New York. The report highlights the physical and socio-economic impacts of weather and climate events and long-term climate change.
According to the World Economic Forum 2019 Global Risk Report, the top global risks the world is facing are weather, climate, and water related. Thus, the scaled-up collaboration between the World Bank, and WMO is of major importance and a respective corporate priority. The WMO 2020-2023 Strategic Plan is guided by its long-term goal to close the capacity gap between developed and developing country Members, including through establishing effective partnerships. The World Bank investments in hydromet and early warning systems are about USD 900 million and growing. Through the World Bank Group Action Plan on Adaptation and Resilience, the World Bank has committed to substantially increase financing for quality forecasts, early warning systems and climate information services in at least 30 additional countries. The collaboration maximizes complementarity, coherence and the respective comparative advantages between the partners. To improve delivery of hydromet services in developing countries, WMO will increase the provision of quality-assured technical expertise from its institutional network. The World Bank will contribute by emphasizing in its country engagements the socioeconomic benefits of hydromet investments, providing its operational experience in strengthening hydromet services and mobilizing financing for sustainable investments.
