The Royal Meteorological Society is the UK’s Professional and Learned Society for weather and climate and its mission is “to promote the understanding and application of meteorology for the benefit of all”. At the heart of this is the responsibility for the stewardship of both the profession and science of meteorology.
The Society’s mission has a wide remit that looks to support people’s understanding, interest and enthusiasm in weather and climate, whether they are research scientists, amateur meteorologists, operational meteorologists, consultants, teachers or members of the public. It goes further, supporting the development of high-quality science, the next generation of scientists, professional development of individuals, accrediting further and higher education courses, informing policy and supporting learning in weather and climate through education and outreach activities. It delivers charitable activities to support the wider community, including a Climate Negotiations Resource for schools.
