This overview highlights critical observational challenges faced by developing countries, as presented during the IAV Workshop in November 2009. Issues such as inadequate integration of data across disciplines, a lack of coordination between ground-based and satellite observations, and limited accessibility to scientific data are identified. These challenges hinder effective environmental and social governance amid multiple stresses like climate change and poverty. The need for user-friendly data-sharing methods and the incorporation of indigenous knowledge into research for sustainable development are emphasized.
