Summary:	"The societal and economic impacts of weather, climate, water and environmental conditions are great -- and they are growing. Today, up to 30 per cent of a developed country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is sensitive to weather, climate and water conditions, and the corresponding share is often even higher for developing economies. At the same time, there are new opportunities for the application of weather, climate and water information to help governments improve the safety and well-being of their peoples, reduce poverty, increase prosperity and improve public health and security. There are also new opportunities that protect the environment for future generations. In fact, scientific and technological advances are providing tools and opportunities to enable more effective action for adaptation to climate variability and change."
