First extraordinary congress of the World Meteorological Organization

With WMO President David Grimes and Secretary-General Michel Jarraud, Alain Berset opens in Geneva the organisation’s first extraordinary congress in 62 years. MeteoSwiss then comes under the FDHA.

The congress is to adopt the implementation plan of the Global Framework for Climate Services, without waiting for the ordinary congress of 2015. A subject that is “hot in every sense of the word”, he says.
