The joint WMO, World Bank Group, and Climate Services Partnership book entitled "Valuing Weather and Climate: Economic Assessment of Meteorological and Hydrological Services" was launched at the 17th World Meteorological Congress on 28 May.
The book aims to help Met Services develop a basic understanding of economic valuation methods to enable them to successfully design and commission economic studies. The book also supports the use of results from socio-economic studies to improve service delivery through optimizing business methods and improving communication with key decision makers.
