Major Accomplishments 2005-2010:Global Ocean Climate Observations
The ocean observing system for climate is 62% complete. Reporting to UNFCCC ensures high visibility and national
engagement. Understanding of global climate change – particularly
detection and attribution - has been substantially enhanced. Development of a Global Framework for Climate Services is
being enabled.

Major Accomplishments 2005-2010:Regional Observations for Societal Benefit
Relevant regional components of the GOOS are increasingly available in real time, enabling coastal hazard warnings and mitigation (eg. oil spills, storm surges, tsunami, cholera …).
Seasonal products derived from ocean observations are also starting to become possible (eg ENSO, Monsoon, drought, flooding and fire regime forecasts).
Quotidian services are being delivered (eg. Shipping and Port traffic optimization, offshore wind and drilling operations supported …)

Can they play an analogous role for regional GOOS to the one that the UNFCCC has played in developing the global climate module of GOOS?

Geneva Ministerial Call for Immediate Action. Presented to UN General Assembly (New York 22 September) and CBD COP High
Level Segment (Nagoya, 27-29 October)
“ The issues of climate change and biodiversity loss are inextricably linked; each can exacerbate the impacts of the other, but at the same time there are policy options that can address both issues. The identification of such co-benefits is essential at global, regional and national levels. In particular the implementation of voluntary REDD/REDD+ mechanisms should be done to enrich biodiversity. ”

Sustaining the system
Governmental engagement and willingness to commit resources for both implementation and coordination remains weak.
Demonstrating clear societal benefits to catalyze ‘user pull’ requires better advocacy
The observing system – especially the coastal module – needs redesigning to serve adaptation needs.
