The World Meteorological Organisation aims to help people lead a healthier and prosperous life by predicting weather changes. The rapid climate change and global warming in the world demand quick actions. The best way to celebrate the special day is by creating awareness and raising our voices to take precautions necessary to reverse climate change.
