CR SPECIAL 25 presents results of the Technical Conference on 'Changing Climate and Demands for Climate Services for Sustainable Development', held in Antalya, Turkey, in February 2010, with sponsorship by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), the Turkish State Meteorological Service (TSMS) and Météo-France.
The conference was designed to prepare recom-mendations on the improvement of climate pre-dictions for the 15th Session of the Commission for Climatology (CCl) of the WMO. Contribu-tions to CR SPECIAL 25 provide an overview of the climate information needed for sustainable adaptation of societies to climate change.
