Meteorology plays a crucial role in helping governments and industries understand and prepare for the risks associated with natural disasters such as floods, fires, and windstorms. Given the importance of multilateral approach to climate related challenges, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), which is a specialized Agency of the United Nations, promotes international cooperation on atmospheric science, climatology, hydrology and geophysics. The WMO was established on 23 March 1950, and is made up of 193 countries and territories. The United Republic of Tanzania has been a member of WMO since 14 September 1962.
The WMO facilitates the "free and unrestricted" exchange of data, information, and research between the respective meteorological and hydrological institutions of its members. It also collaborates with nongovernmental partners and other international organizations on matters related to environmental protection, climate change, resource management, and socioeconomic development.
Specifically, WMO works to:
(i)         facilitate worldwide cooperation in the establishment of networks of stations for the making of meteorological observations as well as hydrological and other geophysical observations related to meteorology;
(ii)        promote the establishment and maintenance of centres charged with the provision of meteorological and related services;
(iii)       promote the establishment and maintenance of systems for the rapid exchange of meteorological and related information;
(iv)      promote standardization of meteorological and related observations and to ensure the uniform publication of observations and statistics;
(v)        further the application of meteorology to aviation, shipping, water problems, agriculture and other human activities; promotes activities in operational hydrology and to further close cooperation between Meteorological and Hydrological Services; and
(vi)      encourage research and training in meteorology and, as appropriate, in related fields and to assist in coordinating the international aspects of such research and training.
WMO collaborates closely with various UN organizations on matters related to weather, climate, and water these include: The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which relies on WMO's expertise for weather and climate observations and monitoring; the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), which works with WMO on early warning systems for weather-related hazards; the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), which cooperates with WMO on issues like air quality and climate change. Climate Change Matters are overseen by the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) co-founded by WMO and UNEP.
The highest decision-making body of the WMO is the World Meteorological Congress, whereas the Executive Council implements decisions adopted by the Congress. Six regional associations (ink: https://wmo.int/about-wmo/regions/regional-associations) are responsible for the coordination of meteorological, hydrological and related activities within their respective Regions, while technical commissions  (link: https://wmo.int/about-wmo/governance/technical-commissions) consisting of technical experts study technical matters and make recommendations to Congress and the Executive Council.
The Officers of WMO are a President and three Vice-Presidents, who are also chair and vice-chairs of Congress and the Executive Council. The Secretary-General oversees the functioning of the Secretariat, headquartered in Geneva.

There are clear links between tourism and the international wildlife trade, especially in countries like Tanzania with high levels of biodiversity and where tourism contributes significantly to the economy.
Conscious of the fact that excessive international trade on certain plant and animal species was developing into a serious threat for those species, we support the multilateral efforts in to ensure that the animal and plant life on our planet is used sustainably and conserved. It is for this reason that Tanzania became a party to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in 1979. The Convention was signed on 3 March 1973 in Washington and entered into force on 1July 1975. 
The Convention acknowledges the global significance of wild fauna and flora conservation and establishes international legal framework that regulate international trade in endangered species and provides the necessary tools for the international cooperation international in safeguarding specific species from overexploitation through international trade. Since its inception, the CITES has regulated international trade (Import, export, re-export and introduction from the sea) of about 40,000 species of Fauna and Flora in 184 countries that have ratified it. 
In fulfilling its mandate, CITES established three appendices of species of animal and plant subject to different degrees of regulation as Appendix I is for species threatened with extinction, where trade is subjected to particularly strict regulation, and only authorized in exceptional circumstances:  Appendix II is for species are not necessarily now threatened with extinction but may become so unless trade is strictly regulated. It also includes the so-called look-alike species, which are controlled because of their similarity in appearance to the other regulated species, thereby facilitating a more effective control thereof: and Appendix III contains species that are subject to regulation within the jurisdiction of a Party and for which the cooperation of other Parties is needed to control the trade.
CITES has three major conferences; The Conference of the Parties (COP) which meets after every three years and the next (CoP 20) will be held at the end of 2025 in Geneva; The Standing Committee that provides policy guidance to the Secretariat on the implementation of the Convention and management of the Secretariat's budget also coordinates and oversees, where required, other committees and working groups; as directed by the Conference of the Parties; and drafts resolutions for consideration by the Conference of the Parties; Animal Committee and Plant Committee which is comprised of experts in biological and other specialized knowledge regarding species of animals or plan that are or may become subject to CITES trade controls. Their role is to provide technical support to decision-making about these species.
Being a Member of CITES, Tanzania has taken appropriate measures to prohibit trade in endangered and established effective regulations and policies in that regard; To keep and manage records of trade in specimens of species included in Appendices; Prepare periodic reports about the implementation of the convention and submit to the Secretariat; participate in meetings and upholding the interests of the country on the protection of species of animal and plant for the future interest of the nation.
