During the congress, Lynch introduced eight key recommendations to advance critical aspects of the WMO mission. These included concrete implementation plans for the WMO digital strategy, service quality assurance, workforce expansion through education, and achieving net-zero emissions as an organization. Lynch considered the Early Warnings for All initiative as the most crucial recommendation, as it aims to bridge the divide between global scientific knowledge and local impact. This ambitious goal, put forth by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, aims to ensure warnings of hazardous weather, water, or climate events reach everyone worldwide.

"This ambitious goal can not be met by a top-down approach", Lynch said, "but by harnessing the expertise and capacity of experts in every country."

The Congress unanimously adopted the Research Board's recommendations, underscoring the collective commitment to address the urgent global challenges posed by extreme weather events and climate change. The Congress approved the implementation plan for weather research, which will contribute to meeting the goal set by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to establish the early warning system within just 5 years. Additionally, the Congress approved research priorities for the global community in climate model development, including the important task of building capacity for scientists in developing countries. This unanimous endorsement by the Congress reflects the shared understanding among member countries of the importance of leveraging expertise on a global scale to address the pressing challenges of our time.
