Transfer of Domestic Satellite Analysis and Weather Observation Technology to Developing Countries

Domestic Meteorological and Climate Technology Provided to Developing Countries as ODA

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) is promoting an official development assistance (ODA) project to provide domestic technology to developing countries to enhance their capacity to respond to the climate crisis.

On the 16th, the KMA announced that it will provide four domestic meteorological technologies to Cambodia, Laos, and Bangladesh.

The KMA is undertaking projects to establish the reception and analysis system for the Chollian Satellite 2A (Cambodia and Bangladesh), build an automatic weather observation system (Cambodia), and develop an integrated platform for typhoon monitoring and forecasting (Laos).

Training programs such as meteorological forecaster courses and meteorological radar operation technology enhancement courses will also be operated to help the meteorological agencies of these countries improve their climate change response capabilities.

The KMA plans to strengthen cooperation with domestic and international related organizations to expand meteorological and climate ODA projects. It will expand convergence projects in the environment and energy sectors to support the implementation of the Green New Deal policy and widely promote domestic meteorological technologies through organizations such as the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the Green Climate Fund (GCF), and the World Bank (WB).

Park Kwang-seok, Administrator of the KMA, said, "Through the continuous promotion of meteorological and climate official development assistance projects, we will contribute to the international community and do our best to internationally promote domestic meteorological technologies."
