Production of skillful real-time climate predictions;

The APCC will be designed to set up an institutionalized 1communication channel for more effective exchanges of regional climate information among APEC member economies. Therefore, the APCC aims at realizing the APEC vision of regional prosperity through the enhancement of economic opportunities, the reduction of economic loss and the protection of life and property through:

Production of skillful real-time climate predictions;

Facilitating the share of high-cost climate data and information;

Enhancing the capacity building in prediction and sustainable social and

economic applications of climate information;

Minimizing climate related damages;

Capitalizing on non-preventable damages; and

Accelerating and extending socio-economic innovation.


The work of APCC will build on the capacities of member NMHSs and will in turn benefit public meteorological and hydrological institutions. Those institutions without the capacity to produce climate predictions will be able to access optimized, high-cost global climate predictions to be produced by APCC.
