11th WMO Scientific Conference on Weather Modification
19 September 2026 | ZEROGeoengineering.com | “We shall propose further cooperative efforts between all nations in weather prediction and eventually in weather control.” -JFK September 25, 1961, speech at the United Nations
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is the evolution of John F. Kennedy’s proposal, as the organizing principle of United Nations-led weather modification experimentation and weather prediction. Weather Modification activities utilize global infrastructures, integrating dual-use AI-infused systems — satellites, aircraft, drones, ground-based monitoring systems including data centers, NEXRAD, wireless communication networks, and interoperable instruments. Together these systems provide a platform for total global surveillance and control.
The following report, “11th WMO Scientific Conference on Weather Modification,” outlines global collaboration on atmospheric experimentation by UN Member nations.
“229 researchers, operational practitioners, policymakers, and early career scientists from 31 countries reviewed recent advances in cloud physics, precipitation enhancement, hazard mitigation, inadvertent and limited-area climate modification, emerging seeding technologies, and the ethical, legal, and social dimensions of weather modification.”
AFFILIATIONS: aU.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colorado; b Monash University, Clayton, Victoria, Australia; c Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune, India; d University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil; e North-West University, Potchefstroom, SouthAfrica; f China Meteorological Administration, Beijing, China; g Russian Hydrometeorological Service, Moscow, Russia; h National Center for Meteorology, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia; i Meteorological Research Institute, Japan Meteorological Agency, Tokyo, Japan; j National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), Jakarta, Indonesia; k National Center of Meteorology, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates; l ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland; m WMO, Geneva, Switzerland
“Major sustained programs from India, China, the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Japan, and the United States were represented, alongside active research and operational efforts from Russia, South Korea, Iran, Thailand, several European countries, and others.”
“Presentations on precipitation enhancement in deep convective clouds highlighted the persistent challenge of demonstrating statistically robust rainfall increases in a cloud regime where intrinsic variability often renders reported signals indistinguishable from background uncertainty.” 
“Evidence from Russia, Austria, Moldova, Bulgaria, Romania, Germany, China, and other regions illustrated both the promise and the perennial attribution challenges of hail mitigation.”
“Artificial intelligence applications extended further to cloud particle classification, satellite-derived microphysical profiling, and operational seeding impact modeling, with one national-scale forecasting system reporting both positive and negative seeding outcomes—underscoring the critical importance of dose and timing control.”
“The Expert Team on Weather Modification of the WWRP will continue to play a central role in promoting best practices, supporting capacity building among WMO members, and facilitating dialogue among scientists, operational practitioners, and policymakers.”

Just as United Nations (UN) World Health Organization (WHO) Member Nations followed identical COVID-19 policies, UN World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Member Nations are collaborating on weather research experimentation via a global weather enterprise toward the implementation of the UN’s global governance agenda.
