Metrology for Climate Action and the Environment: first stakeholder meeting in September 2024

The call for abstracts for presentations and poster submissions for the first Stakeholder Meeting of the CIPM Sectorial Task Group on Climate Change and Environment (CIPM-STG-CENV), to be held at the BIPM Headquarters as a hybrid meeting on 16-18 September 2024, is now open.

The deadline for submissions is 31 May 2024, via the meeting website.

Abstracts should address either:

  • activities that are being undertaken to address the recommendations from the topics covered in the BIPM-WMO 2022 workshop, especially those that have led to collaborative activities between the Observation and Metrology communities, or
  • new initiatives within or related to the BIPM-WMO 2022 workshop themes, tackling measurement and metrology challenges that would benefit from collaborative work between the Observation and Metrology communities.

Recommendations of the BIPM-WMO 2022 workshop are documented in the workshop report and cover the themes of

  • 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.

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 organizations, 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 the 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 new actions for CIPM-STG-CENV, particularly those not covered by existing structures, to facilitate progress in addressing the recommendations from the BIPM-WMO 2022 workshop as well as new initiatives.
