The UNDP Libya reported yesterday that, together with the Ambassador of France to Libya Thierry Vallat, and his team, it visited a newly installed Automated Weather Station in Shahat, part of a growing national network of Automated Weather Stations across eastern Libya.
The UNDP said these systems – shifting Libya from response to prevention – are strengthening Libya’s early warning capacity, backed by national leadership and local expertise. Over 35 specialists from the Libyan National Meteorological Centre (LNMC) have been trained to operate and sustain this network.
The UNDP reported that through its discussions with the LNMC, it discovered how these investments are helping build stronger, more climate-resilient communities.
This Early Warning System Station is housed at Agriculture Research Centre of the Green Mountain Area, where the UNDP also had an opportunity to meet the team of researchers and understand firsthand importance of credible weather forecast for agriculture development.
