3. 1. Goals of GFCS and the NFCS
At global, regional, national level :
optimize the management of risks related to climate variability and climate change;
promote adaptation to climate change;
produce scientifically-based climate information and forecasts;
take into account climate information in planning, policy development and implementation processes at all levels.
Secteurs Prioritaires
The main goal of the FRAMEWORK is to ‘enable better management of the risks of climate variability and change and adaptation to climate change, through the development and incorporation of science-based climate information and prediction into planning, policy and practice on the global, regional and national scale’. This was the message given by the international community at the WCC 3 in 2009 and what the FRAMEWORK intends to do, is to finally close the gap between those that need to know the climate and those that have such knowledge, thus empowering in particular the vulnerable.

4. At national level, the GFCS becomes NFCS. The NFCS mission’s are:
Ensure effective coordination of all actors involved in providing, communicating and using on a large scale climate information and other services relevant to climate change adaptation.
Role of SODEXAM / NMS
Develop and disseminate to users a set of historical, real-time and prospective information products related to climate variability and change and their impacts;
Offer assistance to help users to interpret the information provided and determine a number of appropriate decision options;
Establish an open dialogue aimed at constantly seeking ways to improve the services offered.
