Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and Met Office are to collaborate on artificial intelligence-enabled weather forecasting to help countries better prepare for extreme weather and climate risks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Announced on 22 June during London Climate Action Week, the strategic partnership will see the FCDO and the Met Office work together to support the use of AI forecasting in countries most affected by the climate crisis, including parts of Africa, the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The government noted that powerful machine learning means forecasting can be delivered significantly faster, with more accuracy and at much lower cost than existing models.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the partnership, UK experts will share data and models, work to strengthen capacity and provide technical training.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe partnership will help meteorological services in different countries to better predict, withstand and recover from extreme weather events \u2013 reducing damage, protecting livelihoods, strengthening economic resilience and enabling communities to rebuild more quickly,\u201d the government said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It added that shocks to climate systems often have direct consequences for global markets, supply chains and growth and that, as such, the move represents \u201ca significant boost to the UK\u2019s climate and economic security\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Initial work will focus on improving forecasting in the Philippines, which is at particular risk to weather events due to its densely populated coast and its location at the heart of the western Pacific typhoon belt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FCDO is supporting the partnership through access to its diplomatic network and will provide in-country support from UK embassies such as in Manila, and \u201cwider efforts to connect British technology and expertise with partner countries\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">Read more:
