Women are significantly underrepresented In meteorology and related professions, especially at top levels. WMO is therefore working to eliminate any barriers, to attract more girls into studying science, to retain more women in careers and increase their numbers in WMO governance and management. Further, WMO is promoting weather and climate services, such as field schools for farmers and guidance on gender-sensitive flood management, which reflect the unique needs and strengths of women, as well as men. Investments made in women and girls are great multipliers of development progress. For International Women’s Day, I and my team at the World Meteorological Organization are celebrating the outstanding work performed by female meteorologists, hydrologists, climatologists and scientists around the world by compiling an extensive Women in Action album with dozens of photos illustrating the remarkable work done by women at National Meteorological and Hydrological Services, often performed in remote areas and in challenging conditions.
