Regional Workshops

As called for in the implementation plan and mandated by the 45th session of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) which took place in November 2016 in Morocco, GCOS is holding regional workshops, particularly in light of the importance of adaptation, to identify needs and potential regional cooperation.

The regional workshops are an ideal forum to discuss observation needs for adaptation, promote guidance and best practice and design projects to improve observational networks. These workshops result in regional plans that highlight the greatest needs and benefits of the proposed observational improvements. Donors are encouraged to address these needs, either through the GCOS Coordination Mechanism, other actors or directly.
