China has released a report on the overall trend of meteorological progress worldwide, according to China Meteorological Administration (CMA).

The report, consisting of four sections and 13 chapters, closely tracks the major meteorological achievements of important international organizations and some countries in 2023, and compares and analyzes their development levels in key areas such as meteorological observation, forecast, services and climate governance.

The report recognizes China's significant contribution to the global meteorological development since it resumed its lawful seat in the World Meteorological Organization in 1972.

China's Fengyun meteorological satellites now serve 129 countries and regions around the world, and the CMA's satellite broadcasting system covers Asia and most parts of Africa and Europe, according to the report.

China has actively contributed to the Early Warnings For All Initiative launched by the United Nations. It has also achieved great progress in the formulation and revision of international rules, global data sharing, meteorological sci-tech cooperation and global meteorological governance.
