Climate Change a worldwide issue

Climate change is disrupting nationaleconomies urge to reduce emissions andstrengthen climate resilience

Climate monitoring is the key for factualisingdiscussions and checking progress

Earth Observation data is a major source ofinformation, with 40 years of data availableworldwide

Need to establish standards for a GlobalObserving System for Climate and tosupport the development of climateservices
