4. Why PPP(Public-Private-Partnership)?
only NMHSs
with PPP
Much more fruitful results

5. Why PPP(Public-Private-Partnership)?
For the sustainable development
Limitation of conventional public service driven by NMHSs
Prevention of Natural Disasters 1
Forecast accuracy is increasing little by little.
Need various services rather than forecast accuracy such as smart warning system
Improvement of Life Quality 2
For new services regarding meteorological information
Produce new higher value added businesses from PPP not just NMHSs
New technologies regarding 4th industrial revolution 3
Combine our service with new technologies such as IoT, Big Data, Cloulding, Mobile.
Contribution to the economic growth from PPP

17. Beyond WMO affairs
The rate of world economic growth (World Economic Forum, 2015)
over 5% (before 2008 (Sub Prime))
about 2% (after 2008~2015)
Centennial slump, Secular stagnation
PPP is a new power pulling the economic growth
If we pull the rate of economic growth about 2% → 2.5%.
Great contribution to the our lives in the world.
Overcome economical crisis with the PPP
Each member country has its own role for the PPP, whatever it’s economic condition
RAII can be the leading Region not only for the WMO affairs,
but for the mankind.

19. Climatological Environment in Korea
Geographical environment and complex topography
→ Distinct seasons and big regional differences in weather
2-3 typhoons directly affect the Peninsula
Relatively big change in climate
A small territory, but with a variety of severe weather
[Over the last decade]
ㅇCaused yearly $ 1.7 billion in property damage and $ 2.7 billion in disaster recovery
ㅇCauses : Heavy rain: 59%, Typhoons: 27%, Heavy Snow:12%, Winds & waves: 2%
ㅇ Recently, damages caused by Asian Dust, heat wave, cold wave, fog and drought have a growing impact on people and industries, creating new social issues
⇒ Rapidly increasing demands for Met Services from the nation and the public

20. ㅇ Korea’s weather services have been rapidly grown and expanded since 1945.
Weather information has become widely used in various areas; the public's demands
for customized service have been growing, requiring more cooperation with public sector.
ㅇ Korea has successfully established advanced meteorological services for the short period of time.
ㅇ Korea have experienced trials and errors but learned lessons and know-hows.
