DWD law + German Strategy for Adaptation to Climate Change:

Mandates DWD to provide climate services and to collaborate interdisciplinary

DWD Climate Data Center (CDC):

Easy access and free-of-charge climate data

Users: Business, Federal Ministries, Regional Governments

(16 German States, cities), Public Authorities, Emergency Response Agencies

User dialogue: Annual user workshops and climate conference, regional offices

Provision of tailor-made products (i.e. regional focus, sector-oriented) with

strong science base

Summary


National Implementation of Climate Services in

Germany

Summary

Achievements

National GFCS implementation (DKD) in joint cooperation with national

environment agency and the climate change adaptation community

Many national climate services have been established (more to come)

All five GFCS pillars are more or less well developed and operational

(last operational gap to be closed in 2019/20: decadal climate predictions)

We are looking forward to close cooperation with C3S
