Events

In the light of the global spread and impact of COVID-19, and mindful of the importance of taking mitigating measures against the virus, the World Meteorological Organization has decided to postpone a series of events and meetings that were scheduled to take place from March through to June.

The Joint Session of the Technical Commissions and the Research Board were held by correspondence from 18 March to 15 May. The Joint Session approved the working structures of the new technical commissions, including deciding on the terms of reference of the standing committees and study groups, the appointment of chairpersons and vice-chairpersons, and approving their work programmes. All other decisions originally included in the agenda for the joint session were deferred to the physical session, tentatively planned for 9 to 13 November 2020.
