Gender Equality

WMO is committed to mainstreaming gender in its governance, working structures and activities, and to promoting women’s employment in all its fields of work to achieve gender equality, in line with Sustainable Development Goal 5 on Gender Equality. 

WMO aims to fully realize the professional and human potential of both women and men through equal employment opportunities and, in so doing, to provide improved environmental services that are responsive and sensitive to women’s and men’s needs.

WMO supports better access for women to technology, information, science education and technical training to strengthen the voice of women scientists and technologists and to ensure that the weather, water and climate services provided by WMO and its Members serve the global community – men, women, boys and girls.
