“The world’s poorest are also the world’s most vulnerable when it comes to the impact of climate change, and the least equipped to deal with its consequences.

Kofi Annan
“This initiative may prove to be one of the most important for African meteorology in decades.”
Michel Jarraud, Secretary General, World Meteorological Organisation
