Climate observations are of fundamental importance for reconstructing, monitoring, understanding, attributing, predicting, projecting, mitigating, and adapting to climate change. They are instrumental for assessments and policy implementations, such as the IPCC and the 2015 Paris Agreement. The need for systematic climate observations is increasing with the growing urgency for adaptation and mitigation measures that can require high resolution information. It is therefore crucial to make further progress towards achieving a fully implemented and sustainable global observing system for climate applications.

The second GCOS Climate Observation Conference (17-19 October 2022, Darmstadt, Germany) will focus on activities and solutions that help to achieve a fully implemented, sustainable, and fit for purpose global observing system for climate. The Conference will also provide the occasion to celebrate GCOS 30th Anniversary and take stock of the progress achieved by the global observing community in the last three decades.

Abstracts can be submitted online throught the conference website for either an oral or poster presentation. The abstract submission deadline is 1June 2022.

Registration can be made via the online registration system. The registration deadline is 23 September 2022. 

The Conference will be in person, even though hybrid options will be made available too. For more information, please visit the conference website: https://www.eventsforce.net/gcos-coc
