The first International Conference on Climate Services was held in NY, NY in October of 2013 with the goal of initiating a dialogue between experienced climate information providers and those who currently use or wish to use such information. The objective of the ICCS was to establish a climate services pilot program or network, with support from an international set of partners with experience in the implementation, design or use of climate information and services; it resulted in the creation of the Climate Services Partnership.
