  1. Outline of Japanese Alliance for Climate Change Observation (JACCO) Shin MIYAZAKI (Office for Coordination of Climate Change Observation (OCCCO), Japan (MOE&JMA) /Center for Global Environmental Research, National Institute for Environmental Studies )

  2. Timeline • 2004 December • Council for Science and Technology Policy of Cabinet Office released • “Earth Observation Promotion Strategy” • 2005 February • The GEOSS 10-Year Implementation Plan was adopted at the third Earth Observation Summit in Brussels. • “Earth Observation Promotion Commission” was established at the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) • 2006 April • As climate change is one of the most important issues in Earth observation, • Japanese Alliance for Climate Change Observation (JACCO)was launched • by the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) and the Japan Meteorological • Agency (JMA).

  3. Earth Observation Promotion Strategy • Basic Earth observation strategy • Constructing an integrated Earth observation system driven by user needs • Maintaining Japan’s autonomy while exercising leadership in the integration of international Earth observation systems • Establishing an Earth observation system through strengthened collaboration with the Asian and Oceania region • Strategic prioritization • Global warming, Water cycle & management, Atmospheric changes, Wind & Flood damages, Earthquake & Tsunami • 15 individual fields promoting strategies

  4. Objectives of JACCO • To develop a comprehensive and integrated climate change observation system that takes user needs into consideration. In order to achieve this objective, JACCO will • identify requirements for climate observations based on the need for monitoring and prediction of climate change, • coordinate the observation plans of each organization so that the whole observation system meets the requirements in the most efficient and effective manner, and • issue annual implementation plans for climate change observation by the relevant organizations.

  5. JACCO Structure Report the status of implementation plan Earth Observation Promotion Commission, Council for Science and Technology Policy Sub division on R&D planning and Evaluation, Council for Science and Technology, MEXT Report the status and implementation plan for each fiscal year Coordination, creation and proposal of implementation plan Japanese Alliance for Climate Change Observations (JACCO) Relevant Ministries and organizations Steering Committee Scientific Advisory Board Advice Create the implementation plan Request documents Documentation Support Office for Coordination of Climate Change Observation, Japan (MOE&JMA) Request scientific investigation Report scientific investigation Scientific Working Group

  6. Organization of JACCO • The Steering Committee consists of relevant ministries, agencies, and institutions that perform climate change observation. The Steering Committee is jointly chaired by MOE and JMA. The Scientific Advisory Board of JACCO consists of leading scientists from the field of climate science to provide the steering committee with scientific advice. • The Office for Coordination of Climate Change Observation (OCCCO), located in the Center for Global Environmental Research (CGER) of the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), supports the activities of JACCO.

  7. Activities ofOCCCO • To investigate the need for climate change observations. • To enhance the accessibility of observation data, and coordinating the use of observational platforms in collaboration with the Scientific Working Group. • To convene meetings and manage public relations activities.

  8. Added Value • GEO provided the opportunities to JACCO for international coordination of climate change observation. • JACCO has partly supported to hold the GEOSS Symposium on Integrated Observations for Sustainable Development in the Asia-Pacific Region (GEOSS AP Symposium) in Tokyo, Japan, on 11-12 January 2007.

  9. Relevance to GEO • JACCO is closely related to SBA in climate (4.1.4). • JACCO will develop a comprehensive and integrated system of climate change observation based on user needs in cooperation with international programs such as GEO, GCOS, and other international observation programs under WMO, WCRP, and IGBP. • JACCO aims to meet the needs of GEOSS 10-Year Implementation Plan.

  10. Participants • Ministries and organizations relevant to climate change observation in Japan. (MOE, JMA, MEXT, JAMSTEC, JAXA, NIES, etc.(12 Ministries /Agencies &10 Research Institutes)

  11. Current status & Next step • JACCO started surveying the user needs and current status of climate change observation in Japan. • JACCO will enhance the coordination of climate change observation for diverse filed and organizations in Japan and Asia-Oceania region.
