Guidelines for the Assessment of Competencies for Provision of Climate Services WMO-No.1285

The WMO EC-68 approved the Competency framework for climate services to help NMHSs and other institutions to deliver high-quality climate services in compliance with WMO standards and regulations, specifically those defined by the Standing Committee on Climate Services (SC-CLI) and the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS). WMO Technical Regulations and Guides describe in more detail the practices, procedures and specifications that Members are expected to follow or implement in establishing their arrangements in compliance with the Technical Regulations, and in otherwise developing their meteorological and climatological services. This publication is based on the WMO Guide on Competency (WMO-No 1205) and the WMO Guidelines for Trainers in Meteorological, Hydrological and Climate Services (WMO-No. 1114) and intends to provide support for those organizations of the member states looking after the implementation of such a process. Both the learning outcomes and the competencies assessment process are meant to be adapted to meet the specific national and organizational requirements.
