Regional Climate Centre in RA VI (Europe)

In Regional Association VI (Europe), an RCC-Network approach was adopted to leverage the extensive expertise and technical capacities of the more than 50 RA VI Member countries. At its 15th session in September 2009, RA VI (Europe), through Resolution 1 (XV-RA VI), implemented the RA VI RCC-Network with the initial structure as detailed in the implementation plan for the Network. Each of the nodes is supported by a consortium of NMHSs.
