Lack of integration of obs– disciplinary
– not co-located
”I do fieldwork in my backyard”
– redundant investment
– undersampling
– limited capacity in critical regions
Lack integation natural and social/human dimensions obs
– Conceptual framework relating scales/regionalization
Lack coordination ground-based and space-based obs
Absence policy of free/open exchange scientific data (ecol. & soc sci)

Developing country perspectives
IAV Workshop - Nov. 2009 – Brazil
co-sponsored IGBP, IPCC, ESSP and START
22 developing countries, 5 developed
Major challenges
• Data poor and limited data access
• Intensity of multiple stresses (envir & societal)
• Goverance structures often lacking
• Local/indigenous knowledge systems poorly documented/validated
Major challenges and needs
• Data poor and limited data access
Data sharing –free, easily accessible format
Compilation/sharing existing approaches, tools, information, case studies
User friendly methods (for scientists, policy makers, other stakeholders)

Major challenges and needs
• Data poor and limited data access
• Intensity of multiple stresses (envir & societal)
Identify vulnerable areas and drivers
Adaptation strategies relevant to DC
multiple stressors
consider development agenda
Separate climate change attribution from poor management
