The president of the Regional Association IV (North America, Central America and the Caribbean), Mr Juan Carlos Fallas Sojo, opened the seventeenth session of RA IV on Monday 27 March 2017 at 9:30 a.m. in the San José Palacio Hotel, San José, Costa Rica. Mr Petteri Taalas, WMO Secretary-General, welcomed the participants and thanked the Government of Costa Rica for hosting the session. He mentioned that the increase in extreme weather and climate events – well documented by WMO global reports – requires that the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services play an even more critical role in disaster risk reduction. The Regional Association has the vital task to stimulate and coordinate this process. He reflected on the regional priorities: implementation of the GFSC; enhancement of aeronautical meteorological services capacity-building for the developing and least developed countries and in this region the SIDS in particular; implementation of WIS and WIGOS and disaster risk reduction. He acknowledged the progress made by the RA and the Members since the last session as well the role and activities of the WMO Regional Offices. He wished a fruitful meeting to all participants and a nice stay in Costa Rica. Mr Juan Carlos Fallas Sojo, Permanent Representative of Costa Rica with the World Meteorological Organization and President of the Regional Association IV, welcomed the participants and explained the historical background of cooperation in the region and the exchange of knowledge, data and information among Meteorological Services which was one of the pillars of RA IV. He added that the pressure of population growth generally
