Statement

Message from Mr. Ahmed Djoghlaf, Executive Secretary, on the Occasion of World Meteorological Day - 23 March 2007.

The third report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) confirms that man made emissions of greenhouse gases are responsible for fewer cold days, hotter nights, heat waves, floods, heavy rains, devastating droughts, and an increase in hurricane and tropical storm strength. The upcoming report of the Panel’s Working Group II is expected to be even more significant, as it will give us a better understanding of the climate change system – specifically adaptation and vulnerability.
