The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has issued a report that explores the interconnection between climate and health. The 2023 State of Climate Services report reveals the need for tailored climate information and services to support the health sector as it works to address extreme weather, poor air quality, shifting infectious disease patterns, and food and water insecurity.
The State of Climate Services report has been published annually since 2019. Produced under the auspices of the WMO-led Global Framework for Climate Services, the 2023 report includes contributions from the Adaptation Fund, the Green Climate Fund (GCF), the UN Development Programme (UNDP), the World Health Organization (WHO), and numerous partners from regional organizations, government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and the academia.
