World Meteorological Day 2015: Climate knowledge for climate action

This Year's World Meteorological Day includes a call for climate action coming from all around the world in line with the Third Small Islands Developing States meeting, the UN Climate Summit, the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction and the United Nations Post-2015 Development Agenda.

The United Nations' (UN) World Meteorological Day is annually held on or around March 23 to remember the World Meteorological Organization's establishment on that date in 1950. Many different activities and events are organized for this occasion.

World Meteorological Day often features various events such as conferences, symposia and exhibitions for meteorological professionals, community leaders and the general public. Some events aim to attract media attention to raise meteorology's profile.
