The year 2012 can be regarded as the year of the "climate services". WMO will present the implementation plan of the Global Framework for Climate Services at WMO's Extraordinary Congress in October 2012. Also, THE EMS-ECAC conference in 2012 will be devoted to ‘European Climate Services Capabilities - user needs and communication with stakeholders’. Here at the EGU, we open the discussion on this Climate Services year by gathering different initiatives at international and European level and presenting new perspectives of innovative thinking on the role of climate information in the society.
