GENEVA (AN) — Just 15% of the Paris climate treaty's 195 signing countries are setting up a National Framework for Climate Services to provide the accurate information that will be needed to fulfill the 2015 accord.
Only 30 countries including Britain, China and Germany appear to have taken steps towards fully compliant systems, according to a new U.N. report to the 18th Meteorological World Congress that opened on Monday. More than half of the World Meteorological Organization's 187 member nations lack a national drought policy, the report indicated based on survey responses.
