The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) operates within the environmental services sector, coordinating international efforts to advance meteorological, climatological, hydrological, and related environmental services. It promotes an Earth system perspective that links weather, climate, and water cycles across national boundaries to support the well-being of populations worldwide. The organization is based in Geneva, Switzerland, where it provides a framework for cooperation among national meteorological and hydrological services and other stakeholders. 

WMO serves governments and allied institutions by facilitating collaboration, information exchange, and the dissemination of authoritative meteorological and environmental insights that inform policy and action. Its activities include partnerships, capacity-building initiatives, and collaborative programs designed to translate climate and weather information into practical health protection and disaster risk reduction. In March 2026, the organization supported the launch of the Africa Climate-Health Desk, a joint effort with ACMAD and the WHO-WMO Climate and Health Programme, illustrating its role in turning climate information into tangible public health outcomes. It employs a sizable workforce and operates within the global environmental science field.
