UN Affairs Office
The WMO UN Affairs Office works with strategic partners and decision makers to elevate the role of the meteorological and hydrological community in providing solutions to the global challenges we face, such as climate change, disaster risk reduction and sustainable development.
We help WMO to lead and inform relevant global agendas by channeling scientific and technical expertise into the wide and varied international events and negotiations that take place in New York, primarily at the United Nations. We ensure the voices of the weather, climate and water communities are heard in the political discourse and elevate the services they provide to help address global issues such as climate change and sustainable development.
WMO represents its Members at UN Headquarters, working with partners and other UN agencies, most notably through the UN General Assembly, the UN Economic and Social Council and the UN Secretariat, including supporting the Executive Office of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres.
