正文(英文) | Geneva/Brussels 14 December 2020 (WMO) - The World Meteorological Organization has signed a formal working arrangement with the European Commission on issues of common interest relating to weather, climate, atmospheric environment and hydrology and in support of Europe’s Green Deal. The arrangement lays out potential areas of cooperation. These include: climate change; disaster risk reduction and emergency response; capacity development of early warning systems, Earth observation; water, hydrology and the environment; energy; health; transport; agriculture; coastal zone management; sustainable development; education, training and research. It was signed at a virtual ceremony by WMO Secretary-General Professor Petteri Taalas and European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth Mariya Gabriel. "WMO looks forward to closer collaboration with the European Commission and we are proud to be one of the first U.N. agencies to sign a formal working arrangement. This should advance our cooperation to tackle major challenges such as climate change, natural hazards, air quality, water management, marine pollution and land degradation. We are committed to do more to protect of society and our planet for present and future generations,” said Prof. Taalas. “I welcome the opportunity to enhance the collaboration between the European Commission and WMO in view of supporting the implementation of the EU Green Deal, profiting from our mutual experience in the domain of weather and climate forecasting. Through research, innovation and education Europe wants to be a leading partner and hope this collaboration will inspire other world partners to progress towards concrete initiatives aiming at respecting out Planet boundaries,” said Commissioner Gabriel. The first step towards closer practical ties has already been taken with the secondment of a WMO expert to the EC’s Directorate-General for International Cooperation and Development. Priorities for cooperation may include:
The working arrangement gives details of possible working modalities, including exchange of information, documentation and data; sharing of experience, advice, technical support and staff; and joint reports and analyses. It builds on a Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2003. It stresses that both WMO and the EC are dedicated to forging harmonious relations and avoiding unnecessary duplication of effort when pursuing common goals. National Meteorological and Hydrological Services and scientific institutions have a key role in achieving such goals. The World Meteorological Organization is the United Nations System’s authoritative voice
