- Develop the training materials needed to raise capacity and promote uniform approaches around the world in applying these techniques;
- Work with sector-based agencies and experts, including those of relevant WMO Technical Commissions, particularly CHy and CAgM, to facilitate the use of climate information in users' decision-support systems for climate risk management and adaptation strategies;
