Elements for Life
Tudor Rose and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) have produced together a publication about the socio-economic benefits of weather, climate and water services. This innovative public-private partnership combines the resources of professional publishing and marketing skills of Tudor Rose with the global knowledge of meteorological and hydrological activities and the extensive organisational relationships of the international development interests of WMO. It enables both organisations to advance their shared commitment to secure and sustainable living.

Elements for Life is a fully illustrated 350-page book with over 100 authors relating their work in weather, climate and water services at international, regional, national, municipal and local levels of activity. Their commentaries draw upon experiences around the world reflecting how people are using weather, climate and water services to improve the security and sustainability of their lives. Elements for Life reflects the progress in this field, highlighting good practices in a wide variety of societies and disciplines. By focusing on the experiences and livelihoods of people in vulnerable human habitats, it strives to project the benefits of experience into future actions and institutional commitments to better understanding and use of weather, climate and water services.

In this latter respect, the public-private partnership between Tudor Rose and UN/ISDR amplifies and contributes to the international dialogue conducted at the UN International Conference on Socio-Economic Benefits of NMHS Services (Madrid, Spain, 19–23 March 2007).

The book is a Tudor Rose publication, issued under WMO copyright, and available in a premium hardback cover.
