  1. Toward a coordinated global carbon observation and analysis system and the GEO Task CL-02 “Global Carbon Observations and Analysis” A. Bombelli (CL-02 Task Lead & GEOCARBON Project Manager) CMCC - Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change, Italy GEO CARBON

  2. The Global Carbon Cycle GEO IX PLENARY – European Commission side event. Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, 21-23 November

  3. State of the art of C-observations State of the art of C-observations Many monitoring networks at global level Many different methods to monitor and analyse C-cycle Many C emissions/absorptions estimates at different temporal/spatial scale Coordination for a global integration of the current systems and data is needed to build a GEOSS for Carbon lack of continuity and sustainability interoperability of the systems and intercomparison of the results are difficult still high uncertainty / still under-represented regions and ecosystems types Impressive scientific information difficult to translate science into policy relevant information BUT…

  4. The Global Carbon Cycle: need for coordination for a global integration GEO IX PLENARY – European Commission side event. Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, 21-23 November

  5. The European contribution to Global Carbon Observations From COCOS to ICOS & GEOCARBON: the EU leadership for a global GEO carbon observing system Past Present Future ? • FP5/FP6, CARBOEUROPE cluster, CarboAfrica, CarboOcean, others: put in place and/or enhance the EU carbon monitoring system; improved knowledge of the European (and African) C-cycle. • FP7, COCOS: coordinated European and global carbon relevant initiatives; defined the GEO C-Strategy. • FP7, ICOS: set up the infrastructure for a integrated and standardized monitoring of C-cycle at global level, starting from Europe. • FP7, GEOCARBON: global coordination toward the design and development of an Operational Global Integrated Carbon • Observation and Analysis System. Experience Strategy Infrastructure Coordination Operation (beyond research projects) Priority: sustain operational infrastructures for earth observation (particularly in situ)

  6. GEOCARBON European Commission (EC) / Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) Starting date: 01/10/2011 Duration: 36 months Total funds: 8.6 M€ (6.6 M€ from EC) Project Coordinator: Prof. Riccardo Valentini Euro-Mediterranean Center for Climate Change CMCC, Italy European project but global contribution! To develop a coordinated Global Carbon Observation and Analysis System, supporting the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) toward building a Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) for carbon (last 3 years of the GEO WP).

  7. Geo Carbon Strategy • New version IGCO report • Coordinated by Carbon Community of Practice • Recommendations for short and long term developments • Living document • Developed by COCOS • to be continued by GEOCARBON A rationale for GEOCARBON

  8. & • GEOCARBON was conceived in response to a call for proposals launched by the European Commission in 2010. The aim was to support a European project specifically contributing to GEO at global level in the area of C-cycle. • The project is shaped around the GEO Work Plan and particularly its task CL-02, ‘Global Carbon Observations and Analysis’, in order to meet the GEO targets for carbon (within the climate target): • better understanding of the global carbon cycle • development and facilitation of a comprehensive (atmosphere, ocean, land) global carbon observation and analysis system in support of monitoring based decision-making and related environmental treaty obligations. • GEOCARBON activities are embedded in the task CL-02 and are coordinated with the GEO Secretariat and GEO global community monitoring C-cycle. • GEOCARBON is different from previous EC “Carbon” projects: not just independent research but a contribution to GEO!

  9. GEO Task CL-02 Global Carbon Observation and Analysis Observe Share Inform GEO: Observe, Share, Inform Task CL-02: Observe, Share, Inform collect, synthetize and analyze carbon cycle observations (pools and fluxes) in all its domains (atmosphere, land, water, and human dimension) by ground and space based approaches carbon related data, database, products, etc. (through GCI, i.e. GEO Portal, GEOSS Data Core) decision makers to timely address environmental policies

  24. GEOCARBON Component 7 Costs-benefits analysis Provide an economic (cost and benefit) assessment of the value (monetary and non monetary) of an enhanced Global Carbon Observation System. Expected value Over-compliance to ensure that target is met Track 1 (led by IIASA & CMCC, partners: LSCE-IPSL) Benefit = Less expensive policy (avoided deforestation) through reduced uncertainty (less overcompliance needed, less underreporting possible) Track 2 (led by IIASA & CMCC, partners: FASTOPT, University of Bristol) Benefit = Less expensive to reach target due to earlier commitment, reduced risk of irreversible damages Track 3 (led by IIASA & CMCC) Coupling of land use and energy-economy models Undetected under-reporting Probability Carbon flux from deforestation

  25. GEOCARBON Component 8 Outreach and Project Coordination • GEO-Carbon-Office (GCO) just launched! • Interface with EC • Liaise with GEO Secretariat and GFOI • Strengthen the effectiveness of the global carbon community participation in GEO • Enhance the communication flow among the different communities • Support the Carbon Community of Practice • Mediate between science and policy • Outreach Component 8 Dissemination and exploitation of the results. Turn the results into policy relevant information. Liaise with relevant partners and decision makers. COORDINATION WITH GFOI UNDER DEVELOPMENT Currently: sustained and coordinated by the GEOCARBON Project, with a global perspective (not Europe only!) Ambition: engage a wider community and become an international coordinating office sustained by an international organization or partnership, after the project’s end (from 2015 onwards).
