ICOS to take part in WMO-led workshop preparing the implementation of the future Global Greenhouse Gas Watch

29 September 2023

On 3-5 October 2023, ICOS will participate in a WMO-led workshop to prepare the implementation of the future Global Greenhouse Gas Watch. Entitled "Observations within the Global Greenhouse Gas Watch", the workshop focuses on developing guidance from and to Member countries and partner organizations regarding the comprehensive, integrated observing system that would support the implementation of the upcoming global infrastructure. ICOS will be represented at five oral sessions and four poster sessions.

 

The workshop is free and open to all to attend. No registration is required.
