The president of the Commission for Agricultural Meteorology (CAgM), Dr Byong-Lyol Lee, opened the seventeenth session of CAgM on 18 April 2018 at 9.30 a.m. in Incheon, Republic of Korea. He welcomed the participants to the Republic of Korea and expressed his pleasure in addressing the seventeenth session of CAgM. He mentioned that the Commission has a vision and mission to provide scientific and technological guidance to the Members in the sectors of agriculture, forestry, livestock and fisheries, not only for food production but also for agricultural meteorological risk governance in terms of agro-ecosystem resilience and sustainability, especially with higher priorities on climate services and capacity development. He noted that CAgM is distinct from other WMO technical commissions since it has a multidisciplinary character that requires close collaborations with non-meteorological institutions and organizations at national and global levels through harmonized partnerships. Also, more emphasis has been given to assist developing countries while encouraging developed countries to strengthen existing activities in the field of agricultural meteorology.
