HydrometLATAM
The Why
Latin America is highly climate-vulnerable with different regions and countries experiencing different climate extremes. Given this complex risk landscape, the case for modernised hydrology-meteorology-climate (“hydromet”) services is compelling.
Accurate weather and water forecasting, robust early-warning systems, integrated data networks and resilient infrastructure are essential to reduce disaster risk, bolster adaptation, support resilient agriculture, energy and water sectors, and safeguard livelihoods and economies across LATAM.
There is increasing recognition by multilateral agencies, donors and development banks that hydromet services yield high return-on-investment through avoided losses and lives saved. Donor financing is large (IDB, World Bank, CAF, UNDPand GCF) and donors are driving over $1.5billion in hydromet and resilience projects.
About the event
HydrometLATAM 2026 unites governments, donors and private firms from accross Latin America to address floods, drought, hurricanes and glacier retreat.
The event format is a 3-day symposium consisting of plenaries, technical talks and a curated exhibition of solutions specific for the region and its need.
