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 including rising temperatures, drought events, and evolving weather patterns impacting water security, agriculture, and infrastructure.
Continuous monitoring systems supporting early warning and climate risk management.
Subseasonal-to-seasonal forecasts bridging weather prediction and climate outlooks.
High-resolution climate projections supporting long-term national planning.
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.
