6. Topic 5: Public-private engagement
What does this mean for me?
The Geneva Declaration – 2019:
Will help Members in building a common approach to the public-private engagement and to establishing mutually- beneficial ‘win-win’ partnerships
A strong policy instrument in planning pertinent national, regional and global actions, policies and strategies
The OCP, as a WMO-coordinated consultative mechanism, will be instrumental in strengthening relationships and will lead to an improved common awareness through a sustainable dialogue between public, private and academic sectors, as well as with user communities and civil society
