State of the Climate & Water Resources
This session provided a concise, high-level overview of WMO’s two flagship publications: The State of Water Resources 2024 and The State of the Climate Update for COP30. These reports present the latest scientific findings on the global water and climate systems, highlighting trends, risks, and implications for policy and adaptation. The session followed the WMO Community Meeting and was primarily aimed at WMO Members and Permanent Representatives, while remaining open to the public.
Through two short expert presentations and open exchanges, participants gained insight into recent developments in the hydrological and climate domains and their relevance for COP30 discussions on resilience, adaptation, and science-based decision-making.
