- News was produced by:
- Global Climate Observing System (GCOS)
The GCOS Status Report for 2027 assesses the current observation capabilities for climate monitoring, serving as a baseline diagnosis for assessing whether the system is adequate. For the first time in 34 years of history of the GCOS programme, a threat to the continuation of the current capabilities to monitor climate has been identified.
The accompanying GCOS High-Priority Action Plan defines a small set of high-priority actions to address the most urgent gaps and shortcomings brought out in the Status Report. A supporting comprehensive Technical Review, bringing together detailed evidence from GCOS experts, is also available.
GCOS Status Report and High-Priority Action Plan convey the importance of sustaining the global observing system for climate and identify clearly where immediate action is needed. As GCOS moves forward through this process, your input is invaluable to ensuring that the process is representative, balanced, robust and well-informed.
