Climate information services (CIS) have the potential to support sustainable and resilient development by providing information that can enhance agricultural production, mitigate harvest losses, protect and increase incomes, and improve food security. In countries where agricultural communities are particularly vulnerable to the risks and impacts of climate change and variability, National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHS) have a key role to play in providing accurate, relevant and timely climate information, and partnering with a range of on the ground actors to disseminate useful information.
