| Climate services provide climate information to help individuals and organizations make climate smart decisions. | |||

|||
| How do climate services work? | |||
| National and international databases provide high quality data on temperature, rainfall, wind, soil moisture and ocean conditions, as well as maps, risk and vulnerability analyses, assessments, and long-term projections and scenarios. | Socio-economic variables and non-meteorological data such as agricultural production, health trends, human settlement in high-risk areas, road and infrastructure maps for the delivery of goods, may be combined, depending on user needs. | ||
 |
 |
||
| The data and information collected is transformed into customized products such as projections, trends, economic analysis and services for different user communities. | |||
 |
|||
| Climate services equip decision makers in climate-sensitive sectors with better information to help society adapt to climate variability and change. | |||
