G3W Implementation Plan Executive Summary on INFCOM-3

Thanks to the tireless efforts of all contributors: the WMO Greenhouse Gas Study Group and  drafting teams, and the external experts who provided constructive feedback during the G3W  open-review phase, the Global Greenhouse Gas Watch Implementation Plan Executive Summary is now public on the INFCOM-3 mini-site. 

The document, identified as INFCOM-3/Doc. 7.2 (5000 words), will be featured as a strategic  priority during the INFCOM-3 session in April 2024. INFCOM-3, serving as the constituent  body of WMO, represents the Commission for Observation, Infrastructure, and Information  Systems within WMO. We encourage you to leverage these resources to enhance G3W's Positioning & Outreach. Furthermore, explore the G3W-Presentation-Slides for a concise  overview of the crucial landscape.

Re-launching the G3W Survey for Capacity Building

Embracing the spirit of continuous improvement, we are excited to announce the re-launch of the pivotal G3W survey on National Capabilities for the Implementation of GGGW. Initially distributed via the WMO Circular Letter to WMO member countries' permanent representatives on October 13, 2023, we are reopening the survey to gather additional responses. Among the 193 member countries, 47 countries have submitted responses so far.

Acknowledging the crucial need for more comprehensive representation in the responses, we seek your support in encouraging your nation's participation for meaningful national, regional, and global analyses. Responses are collected via a Microsoft Form, which is still open for WMO National permanent representatives. Survey outcomes and analysis are readily available on the 1.9.1 Survey Analysis, and new responses will be continuously updated.

We extend sincere gratitude to the 47 Nations that have responded, offering invaluable insights into the capacity building efforts within G3W. These countries include Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Barbados, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Burundi, Cabo Verde, Canada, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Fiji, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong-China, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Madagascar, Mauritius, Monaco, Mongolia, Morocco, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, Peru, Republic of Armenia, Republic of Benin, Republic of Korea, Russia, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, United Kingdom, United States of America, Vietnam.

Unveiling the G3W Micro-site

In line with our commitment to transparency and collaboration, the G3W team is actively working on the development of the official G3W website. As a temporary measure to build content, we are thrilled to introduce the G3W micro-site under the WMO Community page. For more information, visit the G3W website.

This platform serves as a central hub for information, updates, and collaborative efforts related to G3W, acting as both a current resource and a stepping stone for the forthcoming official G3W website. We encourage you to explore the micro-site, share your insights, and actively engage with the dynamic G3W community.
