Training course on intelligent platform draws 30-nation delegation

Meteorological representatives from more than 30 nations gathered in Shanghai for the second international training course on artificial intelligence-empowered early warning systems on June 1, marking a significant expansion of China's technical role in global humanitarian disaster defense.

The intensive five-day program, spearheaded by the Shanghai Meteorological Service, centered on deploying advanced AI to meet the United Nations' Early Warnings for All initiative, a global mandate to shield every community from severe climate events by the end of 2027.

Rather than relying on generic weather models, the gathering highlighted cutting-edge, localized tech pipelines — spanning precise typhoon forecasting, low-Earth orbit satellite applications, smart agricultural meteorology and multi-hazard alerts.

"The weather and climate are boundless. We need to enhance international exchanges and cooperation to learn from other countries, overcome extreme cases together for a better future," said Oyunjargal Lamjav, director of the weather forecasting department at Mongolia's National Agency for Meteorology and Environmental Monitoring.
