We would like to encourage you to consider submitting an abstract for the 1st Stakeholder Meeting of the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) Sectorial Task Group on Climate Change and Environment (STG-CENV) to be held on 16-18 September 2024, in Sèvres, France.
The CIPM Task Group has been established to provide a global focal point for metrology activities related to climate change and environment and IOCCP’s Maribel García-Ibáñez will chair a Session on ‘Emerging Metrology Issues’ within a larger section of the meeting focusing on ‘Metrology as an integral component of operational systems to estimate greenhouse gas emissions based on accurate measurements and analyses’.
Building upon the momentum of the workshop held in September 2022 (https://www.bipmwmo22.org), co-organized by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) and WMO, which focused on critical metrology-relevant issues in climate science underscored the urgent need for reference materials for the seawater carbonate system that are both comparable and metrologically traceable to the International System of Units (Raport BIMP-2023/03: https://www.bipm.org/en/doi/10.59161/Rapport202303).
Following the successful BIPM-WMO workshop, the CIPM (which promotes global uniformity of units of measure by supervising the research of the BIPM) has established a Task Group on Climate Change and Environment (CIPM-STG-CENV) to serve as a global hub for metrology activities related to climate change and the environment.
This Stakeholder Meeting will spotlight progress on recommendations and new initiatives in the field of metrology related to climate change and the environment. An open call is currently open until 31 May 2024 via the meeting website at https://bipm-cenv2024.org for abstracts for presentations and posters addressing:
- 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.
