5. Vision: Transforming old archives into a source for a high value of climate information Progressing science Climate variability and climate change assessment, Modeling, Calibration of Satellite data Sector Applications and Risk Management Agriculture, Water Resources, Energy, Insurance Disaster Risk Reduction Climate Early Warning Data Rescue (DARE) is an integral part of the World Climate Services Program with a long term goal of rescuing and digitizing climate records. A focus is made on those records at risk of loss. DARE enables climate science and climate services by making readily available long and high quality climate datasets needed for:

6. 3-tiered approach Global coordination: Provision of best practices/guidelines on DARE and monitoring its activities worldwide. – WMO DARE activity guided by the WMO Commission for Climatology Regional Integrating initiatives: Focus on regional needs for addressing common climate issues and data and information sharing  European Climate Assessment and Data Sets (ECA&D) Data shared by 62 countries  Mediterranean Data Rescue Initiative (MEDARE), 22 Member countries contributing  West African Assessment and Data Rescue Initiative (WACA-DARE), 17 countries  Indian Ocean Data Rescue initiative ( in a planning phase) National Data Rescue projects: National Meteorological institutions get benefit from global/regional initiatives to undertake operational DARE activities  National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHS) leading  Increased support by the WMO technical programs and the Resource Mobilization Office  Increased bilateral collaboration with a WMO facilitating role  Increased national government awareness of the critical aspect of climate data helped prioritizing DARE in recent years

7. DARE Partnership  DARE is a continous WMO programme, worldwide efforts are needed in supporting it financially
