Pacific Meteorological Council
Description/achievement of initiative

The Pacific Meteorological Council (PMC) is a specialized subsidiary body of the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme, established at the Fourteenth Regional Meteorological Services Directors meeting in Majuro, Republic of Marshall Island, July 2011 to facilitate and coordinate the scientific and technical programme and activities of the Regional Meteorological Services. The Pacific Meteorological Council replaces the Regional Meteorological Services Directors body and provides policy relevant advice to the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme Meeting on the needs and priorities of its member countries and territories in relation to meteorology (weather and climate) and related fields. The Pacific Meteorological Council meets on a bi-annual basis. This will be the Second Meeting of the Pacific Meteorological Council.
