Item 7 of the provisional agenda

Abstract
The Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) has been considering the status of the global observing system for climate since it was requested to do so by the fourth session of the Conference of the Parties (COP). As part of this ongoing process, the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) secretariat has developed a second report on the adequacy of the system. This note introduces the second report on the adequacy of the global observing system for climate in support of the UNFCCC and discusses issues the SBSTA may wish to consider with reference to Articles 4.1 (g) and 5 of the Convention. Possible issues to be addressed include defining long-term needs of the Convention, setting short-term priorities for action, and addressing special needs in developing countries regarding the improvement of the global observing system for climate
