WMO Launches Online Training to Support the Renewable Energy Transition
“The energy transition is unstoppable — but not yet fast enough or fair enough.”
UN Photo/Mark Garten – Secretary-General António Guterres delivers a special address on Climate Action “A Moment of Opportunity: Supercharging the New Energy Era”.
With clean energy investments surging and solar and wind now outcompeting fossil fuels, the global shift is accelerating. Climate change is reshaping energy strategic plans worldwide, demanding innovation of sustainable pathways to net zero emissions. Energy and climate decision-makers need strong and practical frameworks to effectively integrate climate considerations into all aspects of energy strategy development and operations.
To date, challenges and the growing dependence on tailored forecasts and data in transitioning to a clean energy system have highlighted the vital need to enhance Weather, Water and Climate Services.
In response to growing demands for enhanced climate-informed decision-making, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is proud to launch a new comprehensive online training course: WEATHER, WATER AND CLIMATE SERVICES FOR ENERGY.
This self-paced learning opportunity is designed to equip professionals across the energy and climate sectors, including practitioners at National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs), with the knowledge, analytical tools, and case studies needed to support informed, climate-resilient decision-making.
This course is part of WMO’s effort to meet its strategic goals under the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) and contributes to the implementation of WMO Operating Plan 2024–2027, in alignment with broader global commitments such as the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement.

What the Course Covers
The course examines the integration of decision-making supported by weather, water and climate services, across the full energy value chain — from long-term planning to real-time operations. It also serves as valuable preparatory self-study material for participants ahead of future WMO in-person training activities.
“Weather, water and climate intelligence is mission-critical for building clean, reliable, and resilient energy systems. This new course helps bridge the gap between science and decision-making.”
