The Earth Information Day provides a dialogue for exchanging information on the state of the global climate system and developments in systematic observation (FCCC/SBSTA/2019/2 para. 58).

Earth Information Day 2022 consisted of a dialogue session and poster session. The themes of the dialogue were guided by the submissions of Parties and observers. They further reflected mandates on research and systematic observation and the wider context of ongoing work under the UNFCCC.

Topics, drawn from submissions under guidance by the SBSTA Chair, were:

  • 1: Updates on the state of the climate and the global climate observing system
  • 2: Earth Observations for Mitigation
  • 3: Earth Observations for Adaptation and Early Warning Systems

Programme

11:00 - 12:30 Poster Session

13:00 - 16:00 Dialogue Session

The dialogue session took place in-person during COP 27 and is available on-demand, above.

Posters were available throughout the two weeks of the Conference and are permanently online below.

A poster Q&A session with poster experts was held for all in-person participants following the dialogue session.

Guiding questions and more information can be found in the information note by the SBSTA Chair.
