This workshop brought together experts from the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) and the key decision-makers, and practitioners from the initial four priority areas of the GFCS. It facilitated the identification of appropriate mechanisms and networks to improve and sustain the flow of climate information for different users. Specifically, it resulted in: (i) enhanced understanding of the needs for climate services in different user sectors; (ii) improved knowledge of the existing interface mechanisms and recommendations for improvements where needed; (iii) clear understanding of capacity development needs to implement the GFCS at regional and national levels; (iv) strategic guidance on institutional arrangements, partnerships and processes required to operationalize the GFCS at the regional and national level. Related Information: Information note ObjectivesTo review the current status of generating climate information in SEE countries and assess specific needs for climate services in the initial four priority areas (agriculture and food security; water; health; and disaster risk reduction) at the global, regional, national and local levels; To review and characterize the current status of interfacing mechanisms and interactions between climate services providers and users, identify major areas for improvement and recommend effective mechanisms and practices; To articulate the capacity building needs for SEE countries in terms of mandates, infrastructure as well as human resources, in all the components of the GFCS; To discuss and recommend improved arrangements for national observation networks, enhanced research and analysis of national and local climate issues including impacts indicators, improved access and utility of climate data and predictions, sustained operational mechanisms that improve facilitation of the flow of climate information To identify, propose and prioritize, ways to promote community understanding and awareness of climate variability and change, and associated risks and opportunities for improved climate risk management and products and services.
