by communities, and the increasing frequency and intensity of flash floods due to climate change.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), in partnership with the United States Agency for International Development/Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (USAID/BHA), U.S. National Weather Service/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (US. NWS/NOAA), the Hydrologic Research Center (HRC) has developed and implemented the Flash Flood Guidance System (FFGS), globally.. The implementation of the system on a global scale is primarily funded by USAID/BHA, with additional support from other funding mechanisms like the Climate Risk and Early Warning Systems (CREWS), Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), and World Bank (WB).
The Skopje Statement urges the decision-makers and stakeholders to recognize the valuable benefits derived from the FFGS and to take action to strengthen the resilience of the countries by supporting the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) in its implementation. This Statement also details the main findings of the workshop and outlines recommendations for implementing FFGS in the future, including empowering women in the decision-making process, which is critical for inclusive and sustainable outcomes.

WMO to join new UN Scientific Advisory Board
The United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres announced on 3 August the creation of a new Scientific Advisory Board to advise UN leaders on breakthroughs in science and technology and how to harness the benefits of these advances and mitigate potential risks.
“Scientific and technological progress can support efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals – but they are also giving rise to ethical, legal and political concerns that require multilateral solutions.” Mr. Guterres said.
“My Scientific Advisory Board will strengthen the role of the United Nations as a reliable source of data and evidence, and provide advice to me and my senior management team.”
The Advisory Board will comprise seven eminent scholars alongside the Chief Scientists of UN System entities, the Secretary-General’s Envoy on Technology, and the Rector of the United Nations University. The Board will be associated with a network of diverse scientific institutions from across the world.
Chief scientists of several UN organizations are nominated to take part in this Scientific Advisory board. Prof. Juerg Luterbacher, Director of WMO Science and Innovation Department, is representing the World Meteorological Organization. Seven external academic experts from universities around the world are also joining this board, together with the rector of United Nations University, and the Secretary-General’s Envoy on Technology.

“Building a Scientific Advisory Board is a necessary step to build even more trust in the scientific community at times of uncertainty and link it to the crucial work of the UN Agencies, on climate change issues of course, but also more generally on science-related activities”, commented Prof. Petteri Taalas, Secretary-General of WMO. “Our organization is proud to contribute to such an effort and is looking forward to contributing with all its expertise and that of its 193 Members”, he added.
“The Secretary-General's decision to establish a Scientific Advisory Board underscores the unwavering dedication of UN leaders to the principles of the scientific method. I look forward to supporting the UN Secretary-General in raising the voice for science-based policy and decision-making,” expressed Professor Yoshua Bengio, Scientific Director of Mila - Quebec AI Institute and Professor at the Université de Montréal.
The primary objective of the Board is to provide independent insights on trends at the intersection of science, technology, ethics, governance, and sustainable development. Through their collaborative efforts, the Board and its Network will support UN leaders in anticipating, adapting to, and leveraging the latest scientific advancements in their work for people, planet, and prosperity.
"Science-based policy as well as decision-making are key for progress and sustainable development in our rapidly evolving world and to leave none behind” said Prof. Juerg Luterbacher, Chief Scientist of WMO. “I am deeply honoured to be part of the UN's Scientific Advisory Board and work with colleagues towards this".
“By ensuring that UN policies and programs are founded on the best available scientific evidence and expertise, the Board will play a crucial role in navigating the complex moral, social, and political dilemmas presented by rapid scientific and technological progress.”, said Ms. Ismahane Elouafi, Chief Scientist at the Food and Agriculture Organization.
With the formation of the Scientific Advisory Board, the United Nations takes a momentous stride towards better bridging science and policy. This initiative marks a vital step towards embracing the full potential of science and technology for the collective benefit of all Member[...]
