Delighted to participate and contribute to the third Session of the Third Pole Climate Forum (TPCF 3) hosted by the World Meteorological Department (#WMO) and the India Meteorological Department (#IMD) from 3 to 5 June 2025, in New Delhi, India. To continue the efforts in minimizing of urgent regional climate risk challenges caused by the rapid retreat of cryosphere and the rising frequency of extreme and high-impact climate events, TPRCC-Network convened the TPCF-3. The main objectives are to continue the sustainable regional collaborative platform and bring together national, regional, and international climate experts, users and stakeholders, to produce seasonal outlook based on inputs from WMO Integrated Processing and Prediction System (WIPPS) – Designated Centres such as Global Producing Centres for Seasonal Prediction (GPCs-SP), Lead Center for Seasonal Prediction Multi-Model Ensemble (LC-SPMME), Regional Climate Centres (RCCs) and National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs). Additionally, the forum discussed how climate information can be effectively integrated into decision making processes. The Third Pole climate outlook was co-developed with the stakeholders for the JJAS season. The outlook will soon be made available by WMO. A User forum was also organized for various sectors. The National Disaster Management Authority #NDMA as one of the users emphasized the need for cryospheric data and information to support Early warning for all#EW4ALL particularly for Glacial Lake Outburst Floods #GLOF.
