SUMMARY:GEO Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:The GEO Week 2021 will be held from 23 to 26 November in a virtual format and will include the GEO-17 Plenary\, anchor and side events\, and a virtual exhibition. \nThe major milestone events linked to global policy agendas  in 2021\, including the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) COP26\, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) COP15\, the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration present a new set of challenges and opportunities for the international community. During GEO Week 2021\, the multidisciplinary activities of the GEO Work Programme will be presented that that address and assess these challenges and opportunities in different sectors\, highlighting the potential contribution of Earth observations to these efforts. For more information and to register\, click here. \nCoastal Hazards in Africa side event\nDuring GEO Week 2021\, GEO’s Blue Planet Initiative\, whose EU coordination is facilitated by EU4OceanObs\, is organising a side event “Coastal Hazards in Africa” on 25 November 2021 at 10 am CEST.

SUMMARY:Joint meeting of IOCCP Scientific Steering Group & Surface Ocean CO2 Monitoring Network planning team
DESCRIPTION:On 25 November\, the Surface Ocean CO2 Monitoring Network planning team will hold a joint meeting with the International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project (IOCCP) scientific steering group. The meeting will discuss the way forward with establishing a strategy writing team and planning an international workshop to develop the strategy and an initial International Mission Team to take the work of developing the global network forward. \nBy invitation only. \nMeeting hosts: IOCCP; Contact for G7 FSOI activity: Richard Sanders (EU research infrastructure ICOS Ocean Thematic Centre and IOCCP) and Maria Hood (EU G7 FSOI Coordination Centre\, hosted at Mercator Ocean International as part of EU4OceanObs) \nThis meeting will follow the 16th Session of the IOCCP Scientific Steering Group meeting & GOOS Biochemistry Panel which will take place from 22 to 24 November 2021. \nContext and G7 FSOI support to IOCCP on surface ocean CO2 monitoring \nThe IOCCP\, which acts as the GOOS Biogeochemistry Panel\, is working to develop an internationally-agreed strategy for Surface Ocean CO2 Monitoring\, a priority of the G7 FSOI. This IOCCP-led activity carried out with G7 FSOI support will work to catalyse and facilitate the development of global strategy for monitoring surface ocean CO2\, which is needed to guide coordinated joint investment by governments to implement the global surface ocean CO2 monitoring network\, building on existing observing programmes\, data management structures and coordination bodies where possible. \n  \nUseful links:\n\nG7 FSOI support to IOCCP project\, which acts as GOOS Biochemistry Panel on developing a global ocean carbon monitoring strategy and network\nEU4OceanObs article: Towards a global strategy for monitoring of surface ocean CO2\nG7 FSOI News article: International scientists signal missing ocean data in global climate policy

SUMMARY:Developing cooperation across GEO Activities to address marine hazards in Africa
DESCRIPTION:An official side event of GEO Week 2021 \nGiven that approximately 25% of Africa’s population live within 100 km of the coast\, marine hazards pose increasing threats at local and regional levels. These include eutrophication\, coastal flooding\, marine pollution\, and water-borne diseases – all of which can be exacerbated by climate change. \nThe side event will review the role Earth Observations play in monitoring\, preparing for\, and recovering from\, marine hazards and what GEO can do to support the coastal aspects of the Sendai Framework for disaster risk reduction in Africa to inform priorities and identify opportunities for future collaboration across GEO activities and regional GEOs working on this thematic. In the context of the UN Decade of Ocean Sciences for Sustainable Development\, the event supports the Decade outcome a “safe ocean” and links to the Ocean Decade programmes such as CoastPredict and CEOS COAST. \nClick here to register for event on the GEO Week 2021 website. \nProgramme\nEvent moderator – Audrey Hasson GEO Blue Planet EU coordinator/ Mercator Ocean International \n11:00 – 11:15 CET Introduction \nA global overview of marine hazards in Africa – Carlos Loureiro\, University of KwaZulu-Natal\, South Africa \nLocal perspective\, what issues are faced: \n\nSeychelles- Justin Prosper\, Ministry of Environment\nSenegal  – Amadou Moctar Dieye\, Centre de Suivi Ecologique (CSE)\n\n11:15 – 11:35 CET Addressing coastal pollution (plastic litter\, oil spill\, agricultural run off…) \n\n\n\nAfriGEO – Phoebe Oduor (Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development)\nGEO Blue Planet – Kwame Adu Agyekum (University of Ghana)\nGEO Digital Earth Africa – Adam Lewis\nGEO Working Group on Disaster Risk Reduction – David Borges (NASA\, USA)\nGEO Human Planet – Daniele Ehrlich (European Commission)\n\n\n\n11:35 – 11:50 CET Panel discussion \nOrganisers\n\nGEO Blue Planet\nAfriGEO\nGEO Human Planet\nGEO Disaster Risk Reduction Working Group\nGEO Digital Earth Africa\nMercator Ocean International – EU4OceanObs project\n\n  \nReplay of the event on Youtube\nFor privacy reasons YouTube needs your permission to be loaded.
