The Climate Change Center (CCC) is the Kingdom’s national hub for climate science, bringing together advanced
monitoring, forecasting, and research to provide reliable,
actionable climate information. Its work enables decision-makers to anticipate
risks, adapt to changing conditions, and plan for a sustainable future.
By translating complex climate data into operational insights, the CCC ensures that science is applied to
safeguard communities, resources, and economic stability across the Kingdom.
Arabia is increasingly exposed to climate extremes and growing variability. Rising temperatures, prolonged droughts, and shifting weather patterns are placing pressure on water security, agriculture, energy systems, and critical infrastructure.
To build a national hub for climate science—delivering operational monitoring and prediction systems that transform cutting-edge research into clear, actionable insights for decision-makers.
Today, advanced climate systems provide robust, trusted information that enables early warning, supports preparedness, and informs long-term planning across the Kingdom.
Drought Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of climate conditions to support early warning and sustainable management.
S2S Forecasting
Subseasonal-to-seasonal forecasts bridging weather and climate timescales for operational decision-making.
Regional Climate Projections
High-resolution projections tailored to regional climate drivers and long-term planning needs.
Together, these capabilities strengthen national partnerships, support evidence-based policy, and enhance the Kingdom’s capacity to anticipate risks, adapt proactively, and build long-term resilience.
Achieving this vision requires overcoming persistent challenges: long-term data gaps, the need for ultra-high-resolution models to capture regional climate drivers, vast demands on data storage and computing, and the ongoing challenge of translating complex science and big data into decision-ready, sustainable climate services.
