HKUST and China Meteorological Administration sign collaborative framework agreement to drive meteorological innovation
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) have signed a collaborative framework agreement to drive innovation in meteorological science and education. By leveraging the complementary strengths of CMA and HKUST, the collaboration aims to enhance early warning systems, strengthen disaster preparedness, and build climate-resilient communities, underscoring the shared commitment of both institutions to tackle global climate challenges and support the initiatives of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
Signing the agreement on campus today were Prof. Tim CHENG, Vice-President for Research and Development at HKUST and Mr. XIONG Shaoyuan, Deputy Administrator of CMA. In line with China’s Action Plan on Early Warning for Climate Change Adaptation (2025–2027), and the United Nations’ goal of ensuring universal early warning system coverage by 2027, this partnership will focus on three major areas aimed at protecting communities, particularly in vulnerable regions, from extreme weather events such as typhoons, floods, and heatwaves. These include:
1. Innovation in Early Warning Technologies
2. Development of Collaborative Research Platforms
3. Talent Development
