Thailand in the Full-Surge of Climate Change

12-05-2016

The Department of Meteorology and Worlc Office (DMO) of Thailand stated on their news line that the beginning of 2016 is the worst year in the history for floods in Thailand. How it is possible, can you image that all fields in 4 western provinces including Samut Siddhi, Samut Prakan, Phirum Vatta, and Chachoengsao were flooded from heavy rains that urged by the very strong and stable monsoon.

The actual need is a versatile approach to climate change which intends to take action in all of the world against climate change at the same time.

In order to anticipate and limit loss and damage from extreme weather and natural disasters, many countries are seriously engaged in climate services such as monitoring, mitigation, and adaptation to climate change. These services focus on maintaining human safety, minimizing economic damages by integrating advanced weather forecasts, extreme climate case studies, and knowledge to cope with climate disasters in a timely and accurate manner.

The five pillars of climate services

The ultimate purpose of climate services is to maintain healthy services with the environment, human safety, sustainable development of natural resources, and poverty reduction. Climate services comprises five pillars, including 1. Weather Forecasts; 2. Early Report of Extratme Climate Cases; 3. Weather Information Broadcasts; 4. Natural Disaster Warning Broadcast; and 5. Climate Change Management Techniques.
