The Second High-level Session of the Open Consultative Platform (OCP-HL-2) was held on 26 and 27 May 2021 as an online event (Two-day online; 1.5-hour per day). The session discussed progress in thematic areas identified as "grand challenges" at the High-level Round Table (OCP-HL-1).
The Session focused on two of the five themes of common concern for the stakeholders from all sectors identified at OCP-HL-1: A) the future of weather and climate forecasting and B) the evolving roles and responsibilities - the future of the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services. The discussions support the building of a common vision of the weather and climate community with a horizon of 2030 and beyond.
