CO2 concentrations top 400 parts per million throughout northern hemisphere

26.5.2014|Vreme

For the first time, monthly concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere topped 400 parts per million (ppm) in April throughout the northern hemisphere. This threshold is of symbolic and scientific significance and reinforces evidence that the burning of fossil fuels and other human activities are responsible for the continuing increase in heat-trapping greenhouse gases warming our planet.
All the northern hemisphere monitoring stations forming the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Global Atmosphere Watch network reported record atmospheric CO2 concentrations during the seasonal maximum. This occurs early in the northern hemisphere spring before vegetation growth absorbs CO2.

Floods in Balkans highlight need for resilience programme

21.5.2014|Voda

Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia are assessing the economic cost and human toll of devastating floods caused by some of the heaviest rainfall on record. Meteorological and hydrological services in the region provided accurate and regular advance warnings of the risks from the deluge, thus helping to limit but not avert casualties.
Building on existing cooperation frameworks, the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia plan to form a joint team for a detailed analysis of the disaster. The floods and landslides killed at least 46 people, forced thousands of people from their homes, caused millions of Euros in damage, left vast areas under water, threatened power plants and disrupted water and electricity supplies.

WMO Acts on Storm Surges

21.5.2014|Voda

Storm surges kill more people than winds associated with tropical cyclones and than earthquake-triggered tsunamis and yet they are one of the most underestimated, misunderstood natural hazards.
Nearly all the casualties and the economic losses from both Hurricane Sandy (2013) and Typhoon Haiyan (2013) were due to water and waves rather than wind. These cases are far from unique – at least 2.6 million people have drowned in coastal flooding, particularly caused by storm surges, in the past 200 years.
Rising sea levels as a result of climate change and growing urban populations in coastal cities are likely to worsen the challenges.

Tanzania: Climate Services for Action

16.5.2014|Vreme

The United Republic of Tanzania has held national consultations on how to roll out climate services to make the East African nation more resilient to climate variability and change. Immediate priorities include the provision of tailored weather and climate forecasts to help pastoralists cope with drought, disaster managers to prepare for flooding and the health sector anticipate outbreaks of malaria, cholera and other diseases.
A meeting in Dar es Salaam 7-9 May agreed on a series of measures to move forward with the Climate Service Adaptation Programme. It recommended the creation of a permanent platform to strengthen dialogue between weather and climate service providers and a wide range of stakeholders. This will ensure that the weather and climate services provided are relevant, accessible and understandable to users ranging from government ministers to local community leaders.
