New York - Global television audiences who tune in for their local weather reports today are in for a surprise - a special forecast from the year 2050. While the format is familiar, the forecasts - anchored by children - are not. These young TV meteorologists joined the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for its newly Weather Kids campaign, created in partnership with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and The Weather Channel, the flagship consumer brand of The Weather Company. Supported by global celebrities and UNDP Goodwill Ambassadors, including Oscar-winning Malaysian actor Michelle Yeoh, American actor Connie Britton and Danish actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, the campaign is part of UNDP's efforts to boost awareness on the impacts of climate change and to mobilize people around the world to take meaningful climate action for future generations.
