National Framework for Climate Services (NFCS)

National Framework for Climate Services (NFCS)

  • Context (TH): India will launch its maiden national-level framework, the National Framework for Climate Services (NFCS), to provide climate services and information.
  • Led by the India Meteorological Department (Ministry of Earth Sciences), the NFCS will aim to mitigate climate risks for key sectors: agriculture, energy, disaster management, health, and water.

Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS)

Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS)

  • NFCS is based on the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS).
  • GFCS is a partnership of governments and organisations at a global level for enhanced climate information and service production and utilisation.
  • Aim of GFCS: to unite climate information users and researchers for informed, actionable decisions and long-term improvement.
  • Its establishment was announced during the 3rd World Climate Conference, Geneva (2009).
  • GFCS focuses on developing and delivering services in five priority areas:
    1. Agriculture and Food Security
    2. Disaster Risk Reduction
    3. Energy
    4. Health
    5. Water

Role of NFCS

  • In lines with the GFCS, the NFCS is based on country-specific weather and stakeholder needs.
  • Unlike GFCS, the nodal agency for formulation and implementation of NFCS in India will be IMD.
  • Initially, NFCS will bridge gaps between agencies needing climate services. These include hydrology, power, renewable energy, transport, dams, irrigation, and health agencies.

Benefits of NFCS

  • Systematic and accurate collection, analysis, and management of data for informed decision-making
  • Resilience building through early warnings and climate predictions
  • Optimized resource allocation, adaptation and mitigation strategies
  • Improved response to climate-related health risks and emergencies
  • Capacity building through cross-sectoral integration
  • Countries that have launched the NFCS are Switzerland, China, Germany and the UK.

The validity of the Current Affairs for UPSC 2025 is from July 2023 to December 2025 (30 months).

The validity of the Current Affairs for UPSC 2024 is from July 2023 to December 2024 (18 months).

For the rest of the products, the validity is as follows:

2 Years Validity == Validity of the Download links (both Static & the Subject Related Current Affairs) is 2 Years from the date of purchase.

We strongly recommend a 2 Year Plan as the UPSC Cycle lasts for close to 2 Years.

If you purchase the notes with “Download Validity == 2 Years,” on 08/12/2023, then you will be able to download the Static & the Subject Related Current Affairs files till 09/12/2025.

If we bring out the Updated (New) Editions of the Static Files within your subscription period, you will be able to download them without paying anything extra.
