Tam başlık / Full title: The Role of the Turkic World Meteorological Union and Prospects for Cooperation in the Development of Early Warning Systems for High-Risk Hydrometeorological Events” Hydrometeorological hazards, including floods, droughts, severe storms, heatwaves and extreme precipitation, pose significant challenges to the countries of the Turkic world. Strengthening early warning systems and improving preparedness for such events are therefore important elements of regional cooperation, particularly in the context of climate change and the increasing need for timely and reliable meteorological and hydrological information. Cooperation among the national meteorological and hydrological services of the Turkic world can contribute to more effective forecasting, improved information exchange and the wider sharing of technical expertise and experience. In this regard, the Turkic World Meteorological Union has an important role to play in bringing together relevant institutions, facilitating professional dialogue and identifying opportunities for closer cooperation in monitoring and forecasting hydrometeorological events. Against this background, the discussion will focus on prospects for strengthening cooperation within the framework of the Turkic World Meteorological Union, including the exchange of meteorological and hydrological data, the use of modern forecasting technologies, capacity-building and the further development of multi-hazard early warning systems. It will also provide an opportunity to exchange national experiences and consider possible areas for joint activities, taking into account the priorities of participating countries and ongoing regional and international efforts in this field. Strengthened cooperation in these areas can help improve regional preparedness, support more effective responses to hydrometeorological hazards and contribute to reducing their adverse impacts on communities and economies. The discussion will also serve to identify potential directions for future collaboration among the countries of the Turkic world, building on their shared interests and the opportunities offered by the TWMU as a platform for regional meteorological cooperation.
