유엔 지속가능발전목표와 세계기상기구의 역할

The 70th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) adopted Resolution 70/1, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This Agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. Eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions is the greatest global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development. As a specialized agency of the United Nations, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 13 on climate action as the co-custodian through the maintenance and expansion of its Members’ atmospheric, oceanographic and land-based observational networks, the free unrestricted exchange of the resulting data and information and related capacity development and research in order to optimize the production of weather, climate and waterrelated services worldwide. The WMO community’s challenge is to provide decision-makers with the scientific facts and analyses they need to adapt to climate change impacts and build climate resilience. In addition to hosting the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), WMO is promoting international action and cooperation on climate change. WMO’s Contribution to SDG-13 is based on the results-based framework and mechanism through the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS), the Climate Services Information System and the Multi-Hazard Early Warning System. The contribution of WMO to the SDGs will be introduced.
