- India is set to launch its maiden national-level framework towards providing climate services and information.
- It is spearheaded by the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
- The National Framework for Climate Services (NFCS) envisions to bring a seamless working platform for users of climate information and services, and help decide and mitigate climate risks for key sectors — agriculture, energy, disaster management, health and water.
- Initially, the NFCS will work in bridging functioning gaps between the various agencies who require climate services.
- Since the 2009 declaration of frameworks for climate services, Switzerland, China, Germany and the United Kingdom have launched the NFCS.
