Weather and society 2022
The objectives of the conference were to:
- discuss and promote all aspects of social and economic research applications along the weather forecast value chain
- bring people together from the operational meteorological and hydrological services, research and forecast user communities
- identify gaps, needs and challenges to reducing the risks to citizens and society
The online conference was free of charge and ran over two weeks. Each session focused on a theme and ran for two hours and included talks and discussion. Poster sessions followed the oral presentations and were carried out in the online platform www.gather.town to provide social and meeting spaces for discussions and to create connections.
The outcomes of the First WMO WWRP/SERA Weather and Society Conference were published at BAMS identifying the gaps and research needs for Enhancing the Value of Weather and Climate Services in Society.
