G3W Newsletter (Q4 2024)
Looking back at 2024, this edition of the G3W Newsletter takes the opportunity to celebrate the collective achievements of the Global Greenhouse Gas Watch (G3W) initiative and its growing recognition on the global stage.
Reflecting on Progress and Advancing Climate Action: G3W Newsletter Q4 2024
The newsletter delves into the initiative's inaugural steps, significant achievements, and collective efforts driving progress in greenhouse gas monitoring. Key updates include the establishment of task teams, the launch of implementation activities, and insights from collaborative workshops with the global scientific community.
A major highlight f the year was G3W’s acknowledgment at COP29, where its progress was officially recognized, underscoring the importance of its work.
In 2025,G3W’s priority activities will focus on enhancing observations, modeling, and data integration. These efforts aim to fully incorporate G3W into the WMO Information System (WIS) and the WMO Integrated Processing and Prediction System (WIPPS), ensuring seamless data flow and accessibility.
On behalf of WMO, the G3W team, and myself, I extend warm wishes for a bright and prosperous 2025. May the new year bring expanded collaboration with global data providers and greenhouse gas observation network operators, fostering meaningful achievements, continued growth, and lasting partnerships. We deeply appreciate your trust and support and look forward to reaching new milestones together in 2025.
Dr. Gianpaolo Balsamo.

Key Messages From Greenhouse Gas Bulletin #20
- CO2 concentrations have increased 11.4 % in just 20 years
- Long lifetime of CO2 in atmosphere locks in future temperature increase
- El Niño and vegetation fires fuel surge in later part of 2023
- Effectiveness of carbon sinks like forests cannot be taken for granted
- Improved understanding of carbon-climate feedbacks is needed
