Services for Energy

The energy sector is responsible for more than 70% of global CO2 emissions, making it a key focus in the fight against climate change. To meet the goals of the Paris Agreement and limit global warming, the world is undertaking a massive transition to renewable energy. Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower are heavily influenced by weather and climate conditions. Therefore, advanced weather, water, and climate information is crucial in ensuring a climate-resilient energy transition and optimizing energy systems, especially in a changing climate. 

WMO supports Members by enhancing their capabilities to provide high-quality, timely, and cost-effective meteorological and hydrological information and tailored services to the energy sector. This helps accelerate the energy transition, enhance energy security, improve energy efficiency, and support achieving the Paris Agreement goals.
