The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) is organising with various partners the World Climate Conference-3 in Geneva, Switzerland, from 31th of August to 4th of September 2009, to advance the development of climate services and enhance their application to socio-economic planning. The focus of the conference is on climate predictions for adapting to climate variability and change, and managing associated risks.

WCC-3 focuses on efforts to manage climate-related risks and opportunities. It will address the need to better understand, predict and cope with climate variability and change. The conference is expected to contribute to the provision of scientific knowledge necessary for post-Kyoto actions and the UN initiatives for adaption. WWC-3 aims to provide reliable climate information necessary for reaching a new global mitigation strategy on climate change in Copenhagen December 2009.
