Resource Name | Enhancing the Role of National Meteorological and Hydrological Services in Mobilizing Climate Finance at the National Level |
Relevant SDGs (list all relevant goals) | 13 |
Publishing entity/entities | WMO |
Target audience | National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHS, National Designated Authorities (NDAs) for climate funds, Ministries of Finance |
Description (max 150 words) | WMO-N°1365 explores how National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) can strengthen their role in mobilizing climate finance to support national climate adaptation and mitigation efforts. It highlights the importance of climate science in investment planning, outlines key funding mechanisms such as the Green Climate Fund (GCF), and provides strategic guidance for NMHSs to engage in financial decision-making. The report emphasizes capacity building, policy integration, and leveraging scientific data and information to unlock funding opportunities. A checklist is included to assist NMHSs in enhancing their participation in national and international climate finance processes. |

5. What collective efforts is your organization undertaking to support countries in accelerating the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, especially in the areas of Goals 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), 9 (Industry Innovation and Infrastructure), 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), which will go under in-depth review at the HLPF in 2026? Please note any achievements, challenges and gaps and provide any relevant links. (Max 200 words)
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) supports countries in accelerating the Sustainable Development Goals by empowering weather, water and climate-intelligence to underpin renewable-energy and infrastructure planning. Through development of National Renewable Energy Atlases (see: https://energymeteorology.info/reatlas/), WMO enables Member States’ meteorological and hydrological services (NMHSs) and energy ministries to map solar, wind and hydropower potential and embed climate-risk information into investment decisions, directly advancing SDG 7 (Affordable & Clean Energy), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure) and the water–energy nexus under SDG 6 (Clean Water & Sanitation).
Complementing this, WMO delivers targeted capacity-development programmes via its online course “Weather, Water and Climate Services for Energy: Powering the Future” (link: https://energymeteorology.info/online-learning/powering-the-future-wmo-launches-new-online-training-to-support-the-renewable-energy-transition/), equipping practitioners with analytical tools, climate-data literacy and decision-frameworks—thereby strengthening institutional readiness, supporting resilient cities (SDG 11) and innovation ecosystems.
Partnerships are fundamental (SDG 17), WMO co-designs atlas and training-modules with international agencies, regional energy institutions and national stakeholders to ensure coherence, scalability and ownership. However, persistent challenges include securing sustained financing, ensuring equitable access in low-resource countries, and bridging technical staffing gaps for operationalising atlases and training.

Initiative/Partnership Name | UN-Energy |
Partners (please list all partners) | |
Relevant SDGs (list all relevant goals) | SDG7 |
Member States benefiting from it | all |
Description (max 150 words) | UN-Energy was established by the UN System Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB) in 2004 as the United Nations’ mechanism for inter-agency collaboration in the field of energy. To accelerate the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement, countries increasingly adopt sustainable energy solutions, embarking on an energy transition by creating the enabling conditions that public and private investment to scale-up action on energy access, renewable energy and energy efficiency. By making their energy sectors more sustainable, their economies can follow a more equitable growth path, contributing to poverty eradication while combating climate change and increasing their resilience.
