World Meteorological Organization

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that focuses on weather, climate, and water resources. Established in 1950, its mission is to promote international cooperation in monitoring and understanding atmospheric conditions, which helps countries prepare for disasters like storms and droughts. The WMO supports research, shares data, and sets standards for meteorological services globally, ensuring that nations can better predict weather and climate changes. Ultimately, the WMO's work aims to enhance public safety, support sustainable development, and protect the environment.
