Enhancing Drought Management Through WMO Activities
World Meteorological Congress's 19th Session in 2023 focuses on drought management. The draft resolution proposes developing a Global Drought Classification System (GDCS) to strengthen monitoring, risk prediction, and early warning services. The resolution aims to align WMO activities with the International Drought Management Programme (IDMP) and support relevant UNCCD decisions. The Congress requests the Secretary-General to collaborate with IDMP for integrating GDCS standards into WMO's work.
