The Pacific Meteorological Desk Partnership (PMDP) is a regional coordinated mechanism to respond to meeting weather, climate, water and ocean services development in the Pacific Islands region.

The Roadmap prioritises key actions identified for implementing the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) that are most relevant to the island nation states and territories of the Pacific. It expands on the five original GFCS focus areas: agriculture and food security; disaster risk management; sustainable energy; health; and water, by adding fisheries and tourism.

Healthy, resilient communities rely on accurate information, early warning, and a solid understanding of climate and weather patterns from a national team they trust.

PIMs sets out the strategic context and direction for strengthening NMHSs.

The Pacific Meteorological Council (PMC) is a specialised subsidiary body of the SPREP Meeting, transitioning from the Regional Meeting of Meteorological Services Directors (RMSD) during the 14th Regional Meeting of Meteorological Services Directors (14RMSD) in 2011, to facilitate and coordinate the scientific and technical programme and activities of the Regional Meteorological Services. The PMC provides policy relevant advice to the SPREP Meeting on the needs and priorities of SPREP members countries and territories in relation to meteorology, hydrology, oceans and related fields.
