We are very pleased to announce that the website for the

conference */Global Climate Observation: the Road to the

Future/* has gone live today (www.gcos-science.org 

<http://www.gcos-science.org>).

The conference */Global Climate Observation: the Road to

the Future/* is being held from *2-4 March 2016* at the 

Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences, Amsterdam, to provide

an opportunity to shape the new GCOS implementation plan.

The main goals of the meeting are to:

·Show how ECVs have helped shaping our understanding of

 climate

·Discuss observations for adaption, mitigation & disaster

 risk reduction

·Identify critical gaps in the observing system

  * Identify future areas for use and development of new 

technology

The main outcome should be a list of priority and 

additional actions that can be included in a new GCOS

Implementation plan. Guidance on how GCOS should align

its work plan with other related climate policy 
activities (RAMSAR, CBD, etc) and work programmes is 

also expected.
