The Conference of Commonwealth Meteorologists
— working towards the Millennium Development Goals
The growing global population, poverty, access to fresh water,
and food production, all of which are key aspects of the Millennium
Development Goals, are inextricably linked to weather, climate
change and natural disasters. By
- strengthening links between National Hydro-Meteorological
Services;
- giving members the opportunity to discuss and resolve
issues of mutual concern;
- sharing climate research and weather forecasting capabilities
the CCM works towards these goals and contributes to build
up a strong commonwealth network of hydro-meteorological expertise
for the benefit of governments and society throughout the
globe.

The economic well-being of all countries
is dependent on their weather and climate and, in particular,
on their ability to cope with adverse weather conditions.
While severe weather events cannot be avoided, it is
possible to mitigate against their impacts - by having
effective disaster preparedness measures based on good
weather forecasting capabilities
