The mission of APCC is to enhance the socio-economic well-being

of member economies by utilizing up to date scientific knowledge

and applying innovative climate prediction techniques through:




Developing a value-added reliable real-time climate prediction system,
through a state-of-the-art multi-model climate prediction system utilizing model predictions
from member economies;

Acting as a center for climate data and related information with open access to member economies;

Helping build the capacity of member economies in producing and using reliable climate predictions;

Developing improved methods of utilizing socio-economic innovation to mitigate and adapt to
climate fluctuations and change and guide member economies towards optimum utilization of
APCC climate prediction information; and

Coordinating research toward the development of an APEC integrated climate-environment-socio-economic system model (ultimate and longer-term scope).
