National Framework for Climate Services (NFCS)

Transcription

1 National Framework for Climate Services (NFCS) is part of the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) led by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Review of the implementation of the NFCS is a coordinating mechanism that enables the development and delivery of climate services at national level. Established NFCS is key to improved risk management, through development Norway and incorporation of science-based climate information and prediction into decision- and PAC-9 policy-making. Rome, Italy, 22 October 2018 recommendations from PAC-8 in Oslo,

7 3.1 Status of Implementation of National Frameworks for Climate Services NFCS Global

8 3.1 Status of implementation of NFCS Economic Commission of West Africa (ECOWAS) is partnering with GFCS to support its member states in establishing NFCS GFCS is partnering with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to support NFCS in Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia (regional workshop at the end of the year) NFCS will be promoted through the GFCS Intra African Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) EC funded programme (85M euros) Key actors such as the World Bank are integrating NFCS into their hydromet investment activities

9 3.2 Mapping of Institutional Resources available from PAC members

10 3.2 Institutional Resources available from PAC members Enhance coordination, identify synergies, expertise, etc. Methodology for the mapping: Across GFCS pillars (UIP, CSIS, Obs&M, Research, Capacity development) Include links to global agendas (SDGs, Paris Agreement, Sendai) Provided context of priority climate-sensitive areas

11 3.2 Institutional Resources available from PAC members

12 3.2 Institutional Resources available from PAC members Template to map PAC members institutional resources:

13 3.2 Institutional Resources available from PAC members Feedback from PAC requested Comments on the template? Please review and confirm/edit your entry by end of the year

14 3.3 White Paper clarifying the concept of the User Interface Platform

15 3.3 White Paper clarifying the concept of the User Interface Platform (recall recommendations midterm review ) reconsider the name for the UIP Keep the name Develop awareness and understanding of the roles and definitions in the GFCS context Clarify the contributions of the UIP to the entire climate services information system value chain Provide guidance on the skills and measures that lead to effective UIP activities

16 3.3 White Paper clarifying the concept of the User Interface Platform (recall recommendations midterm review ) reconsider the definitions of UIPs Climate Services: providing climate information in a way that assists decision-making by individuals and organizations; User: person or subject that uses or benefits from climate services, either as consumer, a client; Interface: interconnection or contact between entities (users, producers, sectors) / tool enabling user interaction with data, products and services; and

17 3.3 White Paper clarifying the concept of the User Interface Platform (recall recommendations midterm review ) reconsider the definitions of UIPs (cont.) Platform: environment for running software or systems / large forum of services users and producers (such as the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction). propose a classification for the different types of UIPs Geographic: global, regional/transboundary, national, subnational Timescale and lead time: yearly, seasonal, S2S, mediumterm, weather, and rapid

18 3.3 White Paper clarifying the concept of the User Interface Platform (recall recommendations midterm review ) propose a classification for the different types of UIPs (cont.) Service provided Format/technology/media Sector: ag, water, health, DRR, energy, transport and infrastructure, ecosystems, etc. document UIP practices within different categories, provide guidance on the skills and measures that lead to effective UIP activities and coordinating with non-gfcs UIP-related activities (CCl, GEO, etc.)

19 3.3 White Paper clarifying the concept of the User Interface Platform Next steps document UIP practices within different categories Based on systematic documentation agree on specific skills and activities that lead to effective UIP activities provide guidance on the skills and measures that lead to effective UIP activities and coordinating with non-gfcs UIP-related activities (CCl, GEO, etc.)

20 White Paper clarifying the concept of the User Interface Platform (recall recommendations midterm review ) Feedback from PAC requested Do you have recommendations for case studies for successful UIPs? GFCS HelpDesk item!

21 3.4 Country-level mapping of climate service initiatives coordination

22 3.4 Country-level mapping of climate service initiatives coordination IBCS MC recommendation to map the existing project investments in countries PAC-8 Map initiatives contributing to the implementation of the NFCS

23 3.4 Country-level mapping of climate service initiatives coordination Step 1 - Collaborative tool Online data spreadsheet Institutional information and alignment with national priorities Contacts (CREWS, CADRI focal point) Links to key documents (national strategy, NFCS, etc.)

24 3.4 Country-level mapping of climate service initiatives coordination Step 1 - Collaborative tool (cont.) Project information: start/end date, amount, donor, execution (govnt, PAC member), project objective, project focal point Alignment with national and global agendas: national institutions, GFCS priorities, CREWS priorities, Sendai priorities, other

25 3.4 Country-level mapping of climate service initiatives coordination Step 1 - Collaborative tool (cont.) Aggregation of data at sub-regional, regional and global level e.g. funding for GFCS priorities, funding for CREWS priorities from selected climate service projects Step 2 Country profile (one-page snapshot of country-level key messages) Assign a focal point for each NFCS country update every 6 months (before PAC meetings) link to GFCS website / WMO country profile database

37 3.7 Linking GFCS with major policy agendas

38 3.7 Linking GFCS with major policy agendas WMO Policy Brief in Oct Transformative Climate Action: from Observations to Science to Services for COP- 24; Co-development with UNITAR an on-line training Integrating Climate Risk Information into National Adaptation Planning (NAP) by mid-2019 in support of NAP processes. Collaboration on UNFCCC regional workshops for the LDC Expert Group; UNFCCC & WMO MoU for strategic collaboration;

39 3.7 Linking GFCS with major policy agendas WMO & Green Climate Fund (GCF) Expert Service Agreement signed in Oct climate rationale for GCFfunded activities; Pursuant to recomm. 1 EC-70, June 2018, WMO develops identifiers to catalogue extreme weather, water, & climate events, standardize recording of information on weather, water, climate, space weather & related environmental hazards & risks; WMO developed log-frame matrix & project level indicators to track progress on UN SDG 13 and Paris Agreement.
