Panel Discussion Key Points • PROGRAMMATIC GAPS • What are areas not sufficiently addressed by the EO community? 1 • GEO throughitsconvening power canhelptoreachhigher national levels in a diversityofministries • Data themes: Climateimpactmeasurements (e.g. ecosystems, cropyields, health, oceanbiology..) • Data provisionbeyondmet/climatedomainterrestrialareas(e.g. ecology, permafrostandglaciers) • Products forExposureandVulnerability • Enhancinguseofclimatedatarecords in applications / valuechain • Maing National delegatesawareof international EO effortsandProgammes • Understandclimatemonitoringneeds at the regional level; monitoringadaptationtoclimatechange
Panel Discussion Key Points • PROGRAMMATIC GAPS • What are areas not sufficiently addressed by the EO community? 1 • More focusneeded on layerbetweendataandpolicyneeds • Approach tocarbonneeds also focus on developingoperational capacities • Data rescue • Uncertaintitiesaroundusefulnessofdata (moreguidanceneeded) opportunities • High-resdata/localdatatosupportadaptation , additional requirements
Panel Discussion Key Points • MISSED OPPORTUNTIES • Where is untapped potential where GEO can provide added value? 2 • Lots of synergies still to be exploited on data sharing joint advocacy • GEO communitytotakeadvantageof OSCAR databaseand ECV Inventory • Integrationbetweenweather/climatedataandothergeospatialandsocio-eoonomicdata (e.g. population, landuse, borders) • Data acesstoin situ datafrom WMO neededtomakeeffectiveusewithin GEO • Riskassessmentstoguideadaptationmeasures • Assessingprogress on adaptation; providesupplementaryguidancetotheadapationprocess on theuseof EO
Panel Discussion Key Points • COORDINATION • Is there a need for an additional coordination mechanism internally in GEO? 3 • Develop case studies within GEO activities how the entire value chain is being addressed (observations > dataset > applications > decisions) • Opportunitiesforcoordinationacross different GEO activities: Sealevelrise; flooding; interfaceswith GEO4Health, bring on boardmorecommunities • Pilots to address adaptation issues • A cross-cutting climate coordination activity should be established by nominating focal points for each activity
Panel Discussion Key Points • PARTNERSHIPS • Which external partnerships need to be built to add value? 4 • UNFCCC has Constituted Bodies in areas such as Adaptation, Loss&Damage, CapD build interfaces between these stakeholder groups and GEO • Documents on specific needs by Parties available make connection with GEO • Hold regional workshops with stakeholders
