The Government has decided to improve hydrometeorological activities in Ukraine
Today, January 12, the Cabinet of Ministers supported the draft law, which will improve the work of hydrometeorological services in Ukraine. Ukrainian meteorologists will be able to exchange hydrometeorological observations and forecasts with foreign services.
In addition, the adoption of the draft law “On Amendments to the Law of Ukraine “On Hydrometeorological Activities”, in the long term should contribute to the implementation of high-quality hydrometeorological observations and observations of the level of environmental pollution. Forecasting efficiency is expected to increase in Ukraine as a whole.
Hydrometeorological information and forecasts play a significant role for Ukrainian society. The World Meteorological Organization notes that the vast majority of material and human losses are caused by natural disasters on earth. In turn, the UN reports that almost 90% of natural disasters are related to weather and climate. Therefore, the improvement of hydrometeorology in the country will make it possible to respond more effectively to the challenges caused by changes in nature.
