This is the most critical global environmental issue we face today. At the Sierra Leone Meteorological Department, we provide an integrated approach to sustainability challenges.

Series of initiatives and momentum since the Bonn SBs sessions in 2019 have been building towards COP25; ranging from negotiation group preparatory meetings to the high-level UN Secretary-General (UNSG) Submit.  The UNSG submit in particularly prompted countries to promote the integration of climate change in national development and the acceleration of technical examination of measures and policies for mitigation and adaptation to climate change.

 

Meet Our Partners

As weather, climate and the water cycle know no national boundaries, international cooperation at a global scale is essential for the development of meteorology,
climatology and operational hydrology as well as to reap the benefits from their application. WMO provides the framework for such international cooperation.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a scientific and intergovernmental body under the auspices of the United Nations, set up at the request of member governments, dedicated to the task of providing the world with an objective, scientific view of climate change and its political and economic impacts.

The Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) is a system that comprises the climate-relevant components of many contributing observing systems and networks. The mission of the GCOS programme is to help ensure that these contributing systems, taken as a whole, provide the comprehensive information on the global climate system that is required by users, including individuals, national and international organizations, institutions and agencies. The programme promotes the sustained provision and availability of reliable physical, chemical and biological observations and data records for the total climate system - across the atmospheric, oceanic and terrestrial domains, including the Hydrological cycle, the Carbon cycle and the Cryosphere.

The African Centre of Meteorological Application for Development (ACMAD) is the Weather and Climate Centre with African continental competence. Its mission is to provide weather and climate information and promote sustainable development in Africa (notably within the context of national strategies for poverty eradication), in the fields of agriculture, water resources, health, public safety and renewable energy-The African Centre of Meterological Application for Development(ACMAD)
