The WMO Congress that concluded in June 2019 served as a capstone of discussions about the future roles and interactions between and across the weather enterprise - especially between the Private and Public sectors. The approval of the “Geneva Declaration 2019-Building Community for Weather, Water and Climate Actions” brings with it many possibilities and directions for implementation. This session will highlight these crucial discussions beginning with a keynote by WMO Secretary General Peteri Taalas on the outcomes and way forward following the 2019 WMO Congress. This will be followed by a panel of international leaders from the Public and Private Sectors who will discuss challenges, benefits and next steps across WMO’s regions, especially in developing and emerging economies. Of particular focus will be the goals and direction of WMO's Open Consultative Platform and future of the Global Weather Enterprise Forum (GWEF) and related coordinating efforts as a way to further international cooperation across the enterprise.
