Early Warnings for All (EW4All) Funding Summary Benefits of Additional Funding Majority funded in ZNG, full under all others Activities across all LTGs as integrated effort One additional position under ZNG scenario and one additional position under ZRG Additional critical activities to Members, e.g.: Technical guidance on IBF and warning services Training materials on probabilistic forecasts Increased Members migration to WIS 2.0 Investments in methodologies for IBF Benefits of ZNG Funding Extrabudgetary and Resource Mobilization Members to be recognized as the single authoritative voice on warnings and hazards Support to development of uniform norms and standard Accelerated development with Tech Commissions Critical for full implementation for whole WMO community Significant extrabudgetary resources will be required Some contributions already received in discussion with a number of donors for further contributions 15

Global Greenhouse Gas Watch (GGW) Funding Summary Benefits of Additional Funding Without funding, GGW would not be realized ZRG includes two new staff positions SG s Proposal also includes additional activity funds ZRG includes leadership role with the WMO community, including strong scientific coordination to support GGW SG s Proposal includes additional activity funding to support Members implementation De-prioritization considerations under ZRG Extrabudgetary and Resource Mobilization Impact within LTG 2 and LTG 3 to maintain balance Reduction of one staff with potential slowdown on GBON and RBON implementation Reduced support to certain sectors within the GAW user community Significant interest from public and private sector WMO coordination needed Resource expected for: further coordination and monitoring efforts within WMO and Accelerate and develop additional GGW activities and downstream services 16

Regional and Representative Office Reform Funding Summary Benefits of Additional Funding Decisions on way forward are expected in 2024- 2027 period Need to ensure funding is available for eventual final decision otherwise could be delay in implementation ZRG would allow for strengthened staffing structure and regional offices for RAI once approach approved SG s Proposal includes additional offices in the second half of 2026-2027 De-prioritization considerations under ZRG Extrabudgetary and Resource Mobilization Elimination of one position supporting capacity development Required funding for fellowship activities would need funding from extrabudgetary activities Increase in virtual rather than hybrid RA meetings Limited potential for extrabudgetary resources Potential support from Members through secondment of staff to Regional Offices 17

Implementation of Plan of Action for Hydrology Funding Summary Benefits of Additional Funding Based on Plan of Action approved by Cg-Ext(2021) Funding requested is for one staff Member to support and coordinate implementation Reduction in risk of non-implementation or delay Focused coordination and monitoring of implementation De-prioritization considerations under ZRG Extrabudgetary and Resource Mobilization Reduced funding under LTG 1 (e.g.): Reduced support to leverage WMO WEB by the GMAS Framework Minimal financial support to the FFI-Advisory Group Reduction in trainings, demonstrations and seminars for aviation Significant extrabudgetary resources already being mobilized for implementation under SO. 1.3 and efforts continue 18

Cryosphere and Downstream Impacts Funding Summary Benefits of Additional Funding Relates to new SO 1.5 Only funded under Secretary-General s Proposal no funding would mean no implementation Reduction in risk of non-implementation or delay Focused coordination and monitoring of implementation De-prioritization considerations under ZRG Extrabudgetary and Resource Mobilization None as not funded under ZRG Extrabudgetary resources would be required to support implementation Efforts on resources mobilization would begin once commitment made by WMO to implement 19

Investment in ERP and IT Strategy Funding Summary Benefits of Additional Funding Full funding under ZRG and SG s Proposal Majority funding from other sources: Savings from 2020-2022 Programme Support Costs Improved protection from and resilience to cybersecurity risks Improvements to efficiency and quality of IT services within WMO Full implementation of the ERP with value-added elements Impact of not Funding Extrabudgetary and Resource Mobilization Increased risk of business disruption or loss due to cybersecurity issues Postponing introduction of efficiencies and improvements to quality of IT services Limited support for project management or enhancement of reporting within the ERP Limited potential for extrabudgetary contributions given the nature of the activities as core to WMO Secretariat 20

Additional Elements Funded under SGs Proposal Impact of Additional Elements Strengthen the functions and coordination of the liaison office in Brussels, focusing on joint efforts or and coordination with EUMETNET, ECMWF and EMETSAT Investment in Atmospheric Environment Research Division to strengthen the work of GAW and the coordination of WMO and the GAW community Improving the timeliness and completeness of the delivery of the Strategic Plan and Operating Plan, for example: LTG 2 Advancing the implementation of the WIGOS to support Members (e.g. the 2040 Vision Space Component, increased capacity development) LTG 3 Increased scope of prediction products provided and increased data assimilation utilizing AI for faster statistical models LTG 4 33% increase in Members supported through twinning coordination on QMS, 12 workshops delivered on strengthened stakeholder project management and implementation LTG 5 Improved greening of IT through power and backup space management LTG 6 Improved top-level political engagement by WMO 21

Early Warnings for All (EW4All) Summary Many core activities across LTGs support Early Warning Services Funding above represents incremental / specific funding for EW4All initiative Majority of funding included within ZNG full funding under ZRG and SG s Proposal Significant extrabudgetary resources and partnerships expected for full implementation Benefits of additional funding under ZNG Increased support for Members to be recognized as the single authoritative voice on environmental warnings and hazards Ensures WMO support to the development of uniform global norms and standards Allow WMO technical commissions to further accelerate this development Additional critical position to support implementation and ensure proper coordination 45

Early Warnings for All (EW4All) Further benefits of additional funding under ZRG / SG s Proposal Additional critical activities to Members, example outputs include: 1.1.09 Technical guidance on IBF and warning services 1.1.10 Development of guidance and training materials on probabilistic forecasts 1.1.10 Technical guidance on interoperability to enable multi-hazard and multi-disciplinary collaboration between NMHSs and other entities 2.2.02 Increasing Members migration to WIS2.0 3.2.05 Investment in methodologies for impact-based forecasting 4.1.04 Members supported to develop NMHS legislation Resource Mobilization and Partnerships Critical for the full implementation of EW4All for the whole WMO community WMO will play a key role in identifying key partnerships and supporting scale of foundational financing mechanisms (e.g. SOFF, CREWS, etc.) WMO will need significant extrabudgetary contributions to support its role Some contributions already received and in discussions with a number of donors (members, foundations, private sector) for additional contributions 46

Global Greenhouse Gas Watch (GGW) Summary Under ZNG, no funding available like result is GGW initiative would not be realized Under ZRG, base funding included for WMO to undertake an initial leadership role Under SG s Proposal, WMO s role is expanded to accelerate GGW implementation Significant extrabudgetary resources and partnerships expected for full implementation Impact of no funding under ZNG WMO cannot take leadership role as no resources available Likely that GGW initiative would not be implemented during the 2024-2027 period Benefit of additional funding under ZRG Overall coordination of GGW initiative of WMO community with dedicated Director resource and limited activity funding Strong coordination with scientific and research community supporting GGW 47

Global Greenhouse Gas Watch (GGW) Benefit of additional funding under SG s Proposal Additional activity funding supports the actual implementation of GGW through: Accelerated development of integrated design of GG observing systems Improving near-real-time exchange of GG observations Acceleration of implementing GGW pilot activities De-prioritization of other activities under ZRG to allow for funding of GGW (CHF 1,854.2) Slowdown of the implementation of GBON and RBON Slowdown of integration, design and evolution of WIGOS observing system Reduction in expert team support on advanced instrumentation Limited input of Science and Innovation to SERCOM, INFCOM, and WWRP activities Reduced level of support to certain sectors within the GAW user community Resource Mobilization and Partnerships Significant interest from public and private sector for extrabudgetary resources and partnerships, but need WMO coordination Expected extrabudgetary resources would be mobilized for further coordination and monitoring efforts within WMO and accelerate and develop additional GGW activities 48

Regional and Representative Office Reform Summary Proposal for phased funding of Regional Office reform during the Financial Period to allow for finalization of analysis and decision making Initially focus offices and organizational structure in RA I Additional focus on other regions later in the Financial Period Approach maintains flexibility while ensuring funding is available to implement decisions Impact of no funding under ZNG No funding to implement ultimate decisions on Regional Office reform during the financial period Status quo would likely need to be maintained, limiting sought after improvements Benefit of additional funding under ZRG Initial implementation of reform decisions could be implemented leading to strengthening of staffing structures and optimizing office locations, beginning with RA I Further strengthening of Regional Offices in late 2026/early 2027 49

Regional and Representative Office Reform Benefit of additional funding under SG s Proposal Further implementation of revised staffing structure and office locations leading to further strengthening of the support provided to Regional Associations and Members. Deferral of the request to later part of the financial period allows for effective decision making and optimization of office structure and locations. De-prioritization of other activities under ZRG to allow for funding of RO Reform (CHF 1,900.1) Elimination of one position supporting capacity development activities thus reducing level of related coordination and implementation Reduction of regular budget funding of fellowship activities would need to be funded through extrabudgetary resources Reduced funding for RA meetings increase in virtual rather than hybrid meetings Resource Mobilization and Partnerships Potential for staff to be seconded to Regional Offices to support revised organizational structures and provide benefit to Members and Regional Offices. 50
