Climate services play the key role in counteracting the climate change consequences by providing scientifically proven information necessary for effective decision-making in various sectors-ranging from agriculture to healthcare. These services aid in the foretelling of the extreme weather, the planning of adaptive actions and the minimizing of the vulnerability of communities and economies to climate risks. Owing to these climate services, governments, businesses, and communities can take a proactive stance, reducing losses and increasing tolerance to the environmental changes.
