This week I visited the WMO headquarters in Geneva with the whole COPE team. We introduced our books and discussed our objectives, and met the Secretary General.
We had several meetings, within the team, and with the WMO, and I sketched and made notes.
Here’s the photo we took of the WMO DRR team, the COPE team, and the Secretary General (he’s holding the Heatwaves book open on the page that features my illustration of him!)
It was great to see in real life several of the locations I drew in the book set at the WMO headquarters.
It was a real treat for us all t0 get together and meet in person. The whole of the COPE team lives in different countries around the world, so this was a rare event.
Heatwaves will be officially launched in conjunction with the WMO at the COP27 event in Egypt next month. It’s currently available in English and French.
