First stakeholder meeting of the CIPM sectoral task group on climate change and environment

16 – 18 September 2024, BIPM, Sèvres Paris France and online

The CIPM sectoral task group on climate change and environment has been established to provide a global focal point for metrology activities related to climate change and environment.

Abstracts for presentations/posters are invited that address progress on recommendations or new initiatives since the BIPM-WMO Workshop on Metrology for Climate Action (2022), and fall into one of the following themes:

Metrology in support of the physical science basis of climate change and climate observations
Metrology as an integral component of operational systems to estimate greenhouse gas emissions based on accurate measurements and analyses.

Recommendations of the BIPM-WMO 2022 workshop are documented in the workshop report.

Expected outcomes of the meeting are:

An overview of activities that are being undertaken to address recommendations from the BIPM-WMO 2022 workshop
Identification of the organisations, committees and groups that are coordinating activities to address recommendations from the BIPM-WMO 2022 workshop
Identification of the recommendations from the BIPM-WMO 2022 workshop where no activity has been initiated and reasons why it has not been done
An overview of new collaborative activities initiated between the Observation and Metrology communities
Identification of new initiatives that could be progressed through collaborative actions between the Observation and Metrology communities, and the groups that could coordinate this work
Identification of any new actions to be undertaken by the CIPM-STG-CENV, with a focus on those actions that cannot be addressed by existing structures, which would enable progress to be made in addressing the BIPM-WMO 2022 workshop recommendations and new initiatives
