The first WMO International Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Symposium will take place in Geneva from 30.1 to 1.2.2023. The symposium will gather high-level climate scientists from all over the world to collaborate on developing an upcoming greenhouse gas monitoring infrastructure.
Backed up by a decision from the parties at COP27, the future greenhouse gas monitoring infrastructure is essential to step up the global fight against climate change. It will be the bridge between the scientific community and policy-makers, bringing actionable data and the latest available science to the heart of the climate mitigation process. Scientifically, the new infrastructure aims at delivering standardised, consolidated, FAIR monthly estimates of greenhouse gas fluxes at a resolution of 100 by 100 kilometres through enhanced scientific cooperation and global coordination. From the policy point-of-view, it will also renew the climate value chain by allowing authorities to improve the accuracy of their inventories, make climate mitigation decisions based on high-resolution monthly data, assess the implemented actions and adjust them in near-real time.
ICOS will be present at the symposium for presentations and poster sessions. You can attend the event remotely, free of charge, by requesting access here https://wmo-int.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_croxWZBhRxWisGK_vlvYPA
