GEO Work Plan – Past, Present & Future
GEO 2012-2015 Work Plan – How ?• Followed guidelines from GEO-VII Plenary
& Beijing Ministerial Summit
• Included comments/proposals made by GEO community over Dec 2010 - Aug 2011
• Drew from 2011 Work Plan Symposium recommendations (4-6 May, Geneva)
Fully Address Strategic TargetsArea by Area
2015 - End of GEOSS Implementation Plan
GEO 2012-2015 Work Plan
Target-Driven Approach
2009-2011 Work Plan based on activity-driven approach
→ existing activities re-organized into Overarching Tasks
2012-2015 Work Plan based on Target-driven approach
→ Tasks correspond to outcomes identified as necessary
to meet Strategic Targets
Strategic Target-driven Work Plan
• The 2012-2015 Work Plan designed to meet objectives described in “demonstrated by” bullet points of the Strategic Targets document
• Tasks are based on the inputs of the GEO community and build directly on ongoing 2009-2011 sub-tasks as well as on new proposals
WaterBefore 2015, GEO aims to:
13. Produce comprehensive sets of data and information products to support decision-making for efficient management of the world's water resources, based on coordinated, sustained observations of the water cycle on multiple scales.
Water
This will be demonstrated by:
• An operationalized and sustained global network of in-situ observation sites.
• Increased availability of information products and services for monitoring changes in the water cycle, including clouds and precipitation, appropriate for both research and integrated water resource management.
• Increased availability of data and information, including quantity and quality of both surface and groundwater, to support a water cycle decision making system.
• Routine, reliable production of “watershed” and human health indicators from satellite data, surface and subsurface data, and data assimilation capabilities.
3-Part Structure & 26 Tasks
1. INFRASTRUCTURE
(Architecture and Data Management)
2. INSTITUTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT
(Data Sharing, Capacity Building, Science and Technology, User Engagement)
3. INFORMATION FOR SOCIETAL BENEFITS
(9 GEOSS Societal Benefit Areas)

1. Monitor progress towards achieving 2015 GEOSS Strategic Targets
Annually assess Strategic Targets completion progress
Provide review of Task performance vs Targets
Identify issues, gaps, and Target objectives that require additional support from GEO community
Conduct actions for addressing issues and gaps
Implementation Boards – Objectives (ToRs)

Boards – Objectives (ToRs)
2. Actively coordinate activities across Tasks within a specific part of the Work Plan (e.g. Infrastructure), while also establishing cross-cutting links to the other parts
3. Advise on Task implementationProvide guidance on issues of technical and non-technical nature (e.g. resources; delivery on commitments of Members and Participating Organizations)
