Due to the current health and safety measures put in place worldwide in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, COP 26 and subsidiary body sessions have been postponed to 2021. The UNFCC has launched another series of virtual events, the UN Climate Change Dialogues, November/December 2020 (Climate Dialogues) to advance work on the subsidiary bodies and COP agendas.
The Earth Information Day 2020 was organized in this frame on 30th of November and was a valuable opportunity for exchanging information on the state of the global climate system and developments in systematic observation (FCCC/SBSTA/2019/2 para. 58). Data, services and information on the state of the global climate system are vital for informing decision making on adaptation and mitigation.
Earth Information Day 2020 has provided an update on the state of the global climate in 2020, and its observation, and discuss recent advances in Earth observation technology and data processing to support decision making.
The dialogue has addressed two themes:
- Updates on the state of the global climate system and its observation (including imprints of Covid-19)
- Recent advances in Earth observation technology and data processing to support decision making
