International cooperation in meteorology was one of the great success stories of the second half of the twentieth century. This article recalls the implementation of the World Weather Watch and the Global Atmospheric Research Programme (GARP) in the 1960s and 1970s, the challenges of the post‐GARP decades of the 1980s and 1990s and the legacy and lessons they provide for international cooperation in the twenty‐first century.
