UNFCCC Side Event: Dialogue with the systematic observation community on activities relevant to the Convention

 

18:30-20:00 Wednesday, 13 November 2013, Room Torun
Warsaw, Poland

 

The event will provide a forum to discuss on-going work on systematic observation under the UNFCCC, and how this work can further contribute to other areas of work under the UNFCCC process, especially in the context of adaptation, such as the National Adaptation Plans, the work of the Least Developed Countries Expert Group (LEG), the Adaptation Committee, the 2013-2015 review of the adequacy of the long-term global goal and others.

Representatives of group of Parties will be invited to present their views on major needs for data and observations in the context of those work areas; representatives from the observations community will
be invited provide updates on their recent activities and initiatives and how these can address needs identified, especially for implementing adaptation activities on the ground.
