Weather and Forest Monitoring
• Elements of Forecast systems– Data– Models– Information Delivery– National Systems– International Coordination

Key role of international organizations
• WMO– Set standards– Ensure data flow– Build capacity
• FAO/GEO– Standards (with IPCC)– Data Flow– Capacity building

Role of GEO
• Working through GEO Forest Carbon Tracking Task
• Ensure satellite and ground data for forest monitoring integrated with models in a systematic and coordinated effort
• Support UNFCCC
• Work with FAO and IPCC

Role of GCOS
• Already considerable through GTOS and GOFC-GOLD – Sourcebook on REDD
• GFOI will contribute to GCOS Implementation Plan
• GFOI will help meet GTOS observing needs
• CEOS a key player
