Open Consultative Platform
All participants in the first High-Level Round Table (June 2019, Geneva, Switzerland) agreed on a Joint Statement, which identified the Open Consultative Platform (OCP) as a suitable implementing mechanism.
The OCP serves as an open, constructive and participatory framework for addressing collaboratively the challenges the weather enterprise faces to mitigate the risks related to weather, climate, water and related environmental hazards. In the spirit of mutual respect and trust, the Platform will enable all stakeholders to stay abreast of issues and opportunities to incentivize win-win approaches and to nurture innovation. OCP aims at moving from isolated actions within a single stakeholder to coordinated initiatives that are developed and shared across sectoral and organizational boundaries.
The OCP is and volunteer-based platform, welcoming all stakeholders of the weather, climate and water enterprise who are willing to participate in the dialogue and inclusive consultation in a constructive and way.
